Introduction To limit the decrease in dental arch diameter, by preserving a relative location of the current teeth, a fixed or removable space maintainer is employed next to the lost primary tooth. A removable space maintainer is simple to construct and re-establishes functions and aesthetics Aim of the study To evaluate a fixed-space maintainer made of light-cure acrylic resin (LCAR) for its flexural and shear bond strength using different bonding systems to the enamel. Materials and methods Fourty five extracted primary teeth were selected. They were randomly divided into three equal groups (n = 15) along with the type of adhesive system (Tetric Flow, Transbond XT, and Fuji Ortho LC) used for bonding (LCAR) to the tooth surface. Surfaces were treated; LCAR was attached to the treated surfaces using a split Teflon mold. For flexural strength testing, ten bars of LCAR were made using another Teflon-split mold. Shear bond strength and mean flexural strength values were evaluated by a universal testing machine. Results The highest values of bond strength were recorded for Transbond XT, followed by Tetric Flow, while the lowest values were for Fuji Ortho LC. Various groups had a significant difference as investigated by ANOVA. ARI scores showed no significant difference in debond sites. Mean value and standard deviation of flexural strength for LCAR were 82.83 ± 5.2. Conclusions LCAR has superior mechanical properties and could be an alternative to currently-in-use space maintainer though in vivo and in vitro tri
