Dental prosthetics in children is a complex clinical procedure that requires consideration not only of physiological factors but also of psychological characteristics. Children with increased anxiety and irritability often experience significant emotional stress during dental treatment, which can complicate prosthetic procedures and influence treatment outcomes. This study examines the specific features of dental prosthetics in pediatric patients with heightened anxiety and irritability. Special attention is given to behavioral management techniques, psychological preparation, and the selection of appropriate prosthetic methods. The findings indicate that individualized psychological approaches, minimally invasive procedures, and effective communication with young patients significantly improve the success of prosthetic treatment and reduce stress levels during dental care.
