Dental rehabilitation of a child with early childhood caries using Groper's appliance.

The mainstay of pediatric dental practice is the successful esthetic rehabilitation of a preschooler with advanced carious lesions.

Parental desire is the most decisive factor for the placement of an anterior esthetic appliance.
