title: [Prosthetic treatment of juvenile patients].
abstract: An account is given of the author's experience in the prosthetic treatment (removable appliances) of children. The authors consider that prosthetic treatment in the primary dentition can be both justified and indicated due to absence or loss of primary teeth. Treatment must take into consideration the growth of the jaws as well as eruption of the permanent teeth. Prosthetic treatment of the young permanent dentition and of the erupting secondary dentition may particularly be necessary, but one must absolutely take into consideration the continuous growth of the jaws. It is important that the dental surgeon have to activate the parents to participate in their child's oral home care.
