Abstract

The cornerstone of pediatric dental practice is successfully rehabilitating a preschooler with advanced carious lesions at esthetic level. Compromises such as decreased masticatory efficiency, impaired esthetics, and mispronunciation of labiodental sounds and development of atypical oral habits can occur due to the early loss of primary anterior teeth owing to trauma or caries. Parental desire is the most important element in deciding whether to place an anterior esthetic appliance to replace missing teeth. This case report details the fabrication of Groper's appliance for a 4 ½-year-old child diagnosed with rampant caries. KEYWORDS- Esthetic rehabilitation, Groper’s appliance, Primary teeth, Space loss
