Extensive carious breakdown of primary anterior teeth to the cervical level and their loss in very young children invariably leads to lack of confidence and self-esteem and may cause psychological problems. The present paper deals with the management of three such cases by means of biological restorations, anterior fixed space maintainer and over-dentures.

Attitudes to the treatment of the pre-school child today stem very largely from the mainstream traditions in classical child psychiatry, the most powerful of which is still probably psychoanalysis. Recent articles (e.g. Freud, 1966; Frommer, 1967; Bentovim and Boston, 1973) describing treatment units for very young children exemplify very clearly the influence of these traditions and illustrate the difficulty of breaking new ground in conceptualizing treatment procedures. It will be the purpose of this paper to take issue with such traditions, and to argue that it is time for a new look at pre-school child psychiatry.

Interviewing is a usual research method in qualitative research which is widely used in pedagogy as well. Yet, interviewing very young children is rather rare as it carries special difficulties and researchers find it better not to overcomplicate the research process for the sake of potentially not useful material. While this might be true, it is worth focussing on the hardships and special features of this research technique, too. Therefore, the study shows the difference between interviewing children and adults, and at the same time, it also deals with a timely topic, multilingualism, which the present study will examine from the point of view of the kindergarteners. The originality of the study lies not in conducting interviews as a part of qualitative research but in the intention according to which the author wants to concentrate on this method, i.e. interviewing very young children (between 3 and 6) showing that it is a special job which demands more attention in educational linguistics.

Abstract The early loss of anterior primary teeth is frequent in the pediatric dentistry clinic and it is associated with extensive caries or dental trauma. The purpose of this study was to report two cases of aesthetic-functional rehabilitation due to early loss of anterior primary teeth, with the aid of fixed space maintainers of the tube-bar type. In the first case, a 4-year-old female child referred for dental treatment is reported. During clinical examination, several restorations in the posterior teeth and absent upper anterior teeth were observed. The treatment plan consisted of installing a tube-bar type upper fixed space maintainer, considering the ease of installation and adaptation for young children. The second case reports a 5-year-old male patient with the main complaint of dental caries. Clinical examination revealed extensive coronary destruction in the upper central incisors, as well as in the posterior teeth that presented carious lesions in several teeth. For the case planning, it was determined the need for  the posterior teeth restorations and the exodontia of the anterior dental remnants. After oral rehabilitation, an aesthetic-functional space maintainer of the tube-bar type was made and installed. In both cases, prosthetic rehabilitation was fundamental to maintain the space until the eruption of the permanent successors, avoiding future damages, as well as to restore the children's self-esteem and introversion  behavior. Keywords: Deciduous.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi relatar dois casos clínicos de reabilitação estético-funcional após perda precoce de dentes decíduos anteriores, com auxílio de mantenedores de espaço fixo do tipo tubo-barra. O primeiro caso refere-se a uma criança do sexo feminino, quatro anos de idade, encaminhada para atendimento odontológico. Durante exame clínico, observou-se restaurações nos dentes posteriores e ausência dos dentes anteriores superiores. O plano de tratamento consistiu na instalação de um mantenedor de espaço fixo superior do tipo tubo-barra, levando em consideração a facilidade de instalação e adaptação para crianças com pouca idade. O segundo caso reporta um paciente de sexo masculino, cinco anos de idade, tendo como queixa principal a presença de cáries dentárias. Ao exame clínico, foi notado extensas destruições coronárias nos incisivos centrais superiores, assim como nos dentes posteriores. Para o planejamento do caso, determinou-se a necessidade de restaurações dos dentes posteriores e as exodontia dos remanescentes dentários anteriores. Após adequação do meio bucal foi confeccionado e instalado um mantenedor de espaço estético-funcional do tipo tubo-barra. Em ambos os casos, a reabilitação protética foi fundamental para a manutenção do espaço até a irrupção dos sucessores permanentes, evitando prejuízos futuros, devolvendo a autoestima e a mudança do comportamento de introversão das crianças.  Palavras-chave: Dente decíduo. Reabilitação bucal. Mantenedor de espaço em ortodontia.

Summary: My comment is basically restricted to the situation in which less-able students find themselves and refers only to literature in German. From this point of view I am basically able to confirm Marsh's results. It must, however, be said that with less-able pupils the opposite effect can be found: Levels of self-esteem in these pupils are raised, at least temporarily, by separate instruction, academic performance however drops; combined instruction, on the other hand, leads to improved academic performance, while levels of self-esteem drop. Apparently, the positive self-image of less-able pupils who receive separate instruction does not bring about the potential enhancement of academic performance one might expect from high-ability pupils receiving separate instruction. To resolve the dilemma, it is proposed that individual progress in learning be accentuated, and that comparisons with others be dispensed with. This fosters a self-image that can in equal measure be realistic and optimistic.

Since the 1990s, a new type of Holocaust story has been emerging in Israeli children's literature. This new narrative is directed towards very young children, from preschool to the first years of elementary school, and its official goal is to instil in them an authentic ‘first Holocaust memory’. This essay presents the literary characteristics of this new Holocaust narrative for children and its master narrative. It brings into light a new profile of both writers and readers. The writers were young children during the Holocaust, and first chose to tell their stories from the safe distance of three generations. The readers are their grand-children and their grand-children's peers, who are assigned an essential role as listeners. These generational roles – the roles of a First Generation of writers and of a Third Generation of readers – are intrinsically familial ones. As such, they mark a significant change in the profile of yet another important figure in the Israeli intergenerational Holocaust discourse, the agent of the Holocaust story for children. Due to the new literary initiatives, the task of providing young children with a ‘first Holocaust memory’ is transferred from the educational authority, where it used to reside, to the domestic sphere.
