Fix Smile for a While: An Esthetic Rehabilitation with Groper’s Appliance - Two Case Reports
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Esthetic rehabilitation of a preschooler with advanced carious lesions or a trauma is the mainstay of pediatric dental practice. Parental desire is the most decisive factor for the placement of an anterior esthetic appliance. The present article discusses about unique case reports highlighting the fabrication of Groper’s appliance in a young child with early childhood caries and with trauma which is a simple technique for the placement of a fixed type of an anterior esthetic appliance. It constituted a design, whereby the maxillary primary second molars were used to support the appliance through bands and a wire that contained an acrylic flange bearing trimmed acrylic teeth, anteriorly. The appliance was functionally and esthetically compliant.
