title: [Replacement of deciduous incisors in children: psychological aspects].
abstract: The absence of the temporary incisors could be to a genetic illness or to some multiple premature extractions. These extractions are the aftermaths of the carious lesions or some traumatisms underwent by the temporary incisors. Beyond measure the loss of the space, the premature loss some temporary incisors very often assign the relational development of the child and disturb its psychological development and the aesthetic function. Across some cases clinics, the authors show that the replacement of the temporary incisors is the therapeutic ideal solution. Indeed, the child prosthesis, replacing the temporary absent incisors, solves the psychological, aesthetic and relational problems of the child.
