Abstract
Loss of teeth in children may lead to both functional and esthetic problems. Absence of teeth in both anterior and posterior regions may lead to malfunctions in mastication and proper pronunciation. The common complications that occur when missing teeth are present and not replaced includes adjacent tooth migration, loss of alveolar bone, and irregular occlusion. Premature loss of teeth may develop complexes and low esteem, leading to insecurities considering the sensitive nature of children. It should also be taken into consideration that prosthetic appliance should not hinder the growth of orofacial system and must meet necessary functional and esthetic standards as there is active nature of growth in children and adolescents.
