  • Title: Removable prosthodontic treatment for the primary and mixed dentition.
    Author: Kotsiomiti E, Arapostathis K, Kapari D, Konstantinidis A.
    Journal: J Clin Pediatr Dent; 2000; 24(2):83-9. PubMed ID: 11314327.
    Abstract:
    Dental prosthetic treatment of children in the primary and mixed dentition years was planned with respect to the special conditions accompanying the absence of teeth. Besides the immediate functional and esthetic benefit of prosthetic therapy, the prosthetic appliance helps to maintain the oral functional status, which is considered necessary for undisturbed lower facial growth. Therefore, careful follow-up and thoughtful treatment decisions should be exercised, especially in cases where impairment of permanent dentition and supportive tissues complicate the prognosis.
