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.
