Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, School of Dentistry, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

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 during 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 considering their perceptions and adequate indications for each case.
