Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare hereditary disorder with a characteristic physiognomy. The case of a 5-year-old child with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and complete anodontia is presented. Because of the anodontia and the need for treatment at an early age, the prosthetic management of such a young child can be difficult. Complete dentures were provided to encourage a normal psychological development and to improve the function of the stomatognathic system.

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a heritable disease, characterized by hypodontia, hypotrichosis, and anhidrosis. This clinical report demonstrates prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient complaining of impaired mastication and the odd appearance of her jaws. Maxillary telescopic-overdenture and implant-supported mandibular prostheses were fabricated to improve mastication, speech, and aesthetics of the patient.

Background: This case report presents the dimensional changes in dental arches in a patient with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) after complete denture rehabilitation, with an 18-year follow-up period. Case report: The patient had complete anodontia and was successfully rehabilitated with conventional complete dentures at 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, 16, and 21 years of age. Each successive denture was larger and contained more and larger teeth so as to accommodate for the increase in the size of the developing jaw. A series of diagnostic casts were used to measure the dimensional changes in the arch length and width of the alveolar ridge. Cast analysis revealed that there was an increase in arch length and width in both the maxilla and mandible over time. Cephalometric analysis of craniofacial development was performed at 21 years of age, and suggested protrusion of the maxilla and mandible. Conclusions: The absence of teeth due to HED did not affect the dimensional changes in dental arches after complete denture rehabilitation from childhood to adulthood. The prosthetic treatment improved the patient’s social integration and enabled the development of normal dietary habits, speech, and facial esthetics, which in turn led to improved quality of life.

Abstract Aim This clinical report describes the oral rehabilitation of a 6-year-old male ectodermal dysplasia (ED) patient diagnosed with hypodontia. Background ED is a hereditary disease characterized by a congenital dysplasia of one or more ectodermal structures and their accessory appendages. Common manifestations include defective hair follicles and eyebrows, frontal bossing with prominent supraorbital ridges, nasal bridge depression, and protuberant lips. Intraorally, most common findings are anadontia or hypodontia, conical teeth, and generalize spaces. The patient may suffer from dry skin, hyperthermia, and unexplained high fever as a result of deficiency of sweat glands. Report A six-year-old boy who exhibited many of the manifestations of ED as well as behavioral problems and a severe gag reflex. The treatment was designed to improve his appearance and oral functions and included the fabrication of several removable prostheses and acid-etched composite resin restorations during his growth and development. Summary Young patients with ED need to be evaluated early by a dental professional to determine the oral ramifications of the condition. When indicated, appropriate care needs to be rendered throughout the child's growth cycle to maintain oral functions as well as to address the esthetic needs of the patient. This clinical report demonstrates that removable partial dentures associated with direct composite restorations can be a reversible and inexpensive method of treatment for young ED patients.

Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a genetically heterogeneous condition resulting from clinical anomalies of structures derived from the ectoderm, such as the hair, nails, sweat glands, and teeth. This clinical report presents the case of a child diagnosed with hypohidrotic ED at 2 years of age; clinical and imaging evaluation was performed with 6-year follow-up, and we present details of the prosthetic dental care, with a 12-month follow-up. The patient’s masticatory capacity had improved, leading to the child gaining 4 kg. In conclusion, prosthetic management was noninvasive and appeared to lead to developmental benefits for the patient.
