The fabrication of a prosthesis for a child requires an extensive diagnostic process together with a detailed medical and dental history. The treatment modalities for children and adults are different. By young patients attention must be paid in order to establish a feeling of trust and close cooperation between the dentist and the patient. The aim of the treatment with removable denture prosthesis is the re-establishment of aesthetic, phonetic and function while assuring at the same time a high standard of oral hygiene and periodontal maintenance. The continuous jaw growth and the dentition changes of a child must be closely monitored. Therefore, frequent (3-6 months recall intervals) follow-up examinations and denture adjustments are needed.
