BACKGROUND: Partially edentulous denture is of two types namely removable partial denture and fixed partial denture. A removable partial denture can be removed and reinserted it without professional help. Conversely, a fixed prosthesis should be removed only by a dental professional.The congenital absence of teeth is one of the most frequent reasons for the need of complete and partial dentures for young children. Premature loss of primary teeth due to grossly caries may be another reason for the need of complete dentures for preschool children. AIM AND OBJECTIVE: To determine the knowledge and awareness among parents regarding prosthetic rehabilitation in partially edentulous children. METHODOLOGY: Hundred parents were selected randomly in the general population. A Questionnaire type study was carried out among the hundred parents. The parents were given the questionnaire containing 10 questions and they were asked to marked. This study was conducted to determine the knowledge and awareness among parents regarding prosthetic rehabilitation in children. RESULTS: In this survey, 92% of the parents are more aware that prosthetic improve the psychological effect of the children and the parents are more unaware about the types of materials used for partial denture. Unawareness of the parents regarding prosthetic rehabilitation in children may be due to lack of knowledge about the partial denture. This can be overcome by conducting dental camps to improve the knowledge about partial denture. CONCLUSION: With our pilot study we suggest programs to improve the awareness about the prosthetic rehabilitation in children. Further research work with more number of parents is recommended.
