Shedding of deciduous teeth is a natural process occurring together with physiologic resorption via a diversity of molecular and cellular mechanisms, thus, generating an eruption pathway for the permanent tooth and consequently, promoting a physiologic occlusion. Extraction of deciduous teeth, is now considered a major procedure causing fear and anxiety in children during dental treatment. Goal: The aim of this study was to present a complementary technique to accelerate shedding of deciduous teeth. Clinical cases: Description of two clinical cases in two children who demonstrated intense fear associated with the extraction of deciduous teeth presented with mobility and physiologic resorption in 2/3 of the root. The children have accepted the technique application because the deciduous teeth have painlessly fallen out with in two days. Conclusion: The presented aid technique proved to be an alternative to reduce psychological trauma in anxious and fearful’s children. However, additional studies and research are required to further assess and evaluate this technique.
