Abstract

Forty patients that received prosthetic appliances as part of dental treatment were interviewed about satisfaction with the apparatus. The opinions of the guardians were also considered. The majority of children had complained about missing teeth, but even a greater percentage expressed satisfaction dur-ing wear of the prosthetic appliance. Among the guardians, only one of them expressed dissatisfaction with the appliance design. Rehabilitation plan should be discussed with children and guardians con-sidering their perceptions and adequate indications for each case.
