| dc.description.abstract | The pattern of permanent tooth loss and prosthetic replacement in 76 children were studied. Dental caries and its sequelae were the most frequent cause of tooth loss (64.47%) followed by trauma (21.05%). Molars accounted for 64.20% of tooth type lost due to dental caries and its sequelae while loss of incisors (19.75%) was due to trauma. It was observed that only incisors were replaced (81.25%) due to their conspicuous position in the mouth whereas a large number of molars were lost and none was replaced. The need to periodically assess children after tooth loss for prosthetic replacement was emphasised. | en_US |
