The Assessment of Acrylic Infantile Overdenture during the Treatment of Anodontia in Children: A Case Study

Abstract:

Anodontia or dental agenesis in children is difficult to treat, as the child is smaller. The treatment of anodontia is a complex one, it is important to mention that the children’s body is upgrowing and, also, the psychological implications that could appear in children without teeth. The materials used in acrylic infantile overdenture must be non-toxic and shouldn’t have any negative influence in upgrowing children. The base of acrylic infantile overdenture is made of acrylic resin. The aim of the present study is to highlight the changing of regular acrylic infantile overdenture, at the age of 1 and a half, in order to allow the physiological growth of the children’s bones.
