Ectodermal dysplasia: case report of aesthetic and functional rehabilitation

Objective: The aim of this study is to report a case of aesthetic and prosthetic rehabilitation of a male 6-year-old patient diagnosed with Hipohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia, attended at the clinic of special patients held in the extension project of the Federal Fluminense University. Methods: This is a clinical, observational and descriptive study where the restorative and rehabilitative treatment was conducted and reported corresponding to the functional and aesthetic needs of the patient. Results: It was realized the reconstruction of the anatomical shape of the teeth 51 and 61 and also was made a partial removable prosthesis to cover the absence of the teeth 71, 72, 74, 81 and 82, offering function, aesthetics and satisfaction reported by the patient. Conclusion: This case reports contributed to the increase of knowledge about the forms of Ectodermal Dysplasia on the importance of the differential diagnosis of the same, as well as to the teaching of the extension project of undergraduate students.

Hereditary Disorders

AbstractEctodermal dysplasia are rare hereditary disorders characterized by abnormal development of certain tissues and structures of ectodermal origin. Children affected need multidisciplinary approach and a removable prosthesis is recommended in initial years of life to prevent bone resorption, improve esthetics, mastication and speech apart from boosting self image. Implants are recommended only once the growth is complete. This case reports hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with partial anodontia in a 3 year old child, rehabilitated with partial denture in maxillary and complete denture in mandibular arch.

Secondary Phenotypes

Kabuki Syndrome is rare and poorly documented, initially mentioned by Niikawa and Kuroki in 1981. The prevalence of the syndrome among live births is 1:32,000. Case reports are now available, which correlates to improved techniques for accurate diagnosis. This study focused on a systematic comparative review of the phenotypes of individuals with Kabuki Syndrome, with the purpose to facilitate diagnosis. The systematic review was done with a bibliographic survey of case studies using the following databases: Pubmed, Science Direct and Google Scholar, in conjunction with the following key-words: Kabuki syndrome, phenotype, KMT2D and case report. The literature shows that patients with this syndrome present five main characteristics, besides several types of secondary phenotypes. These characteristics present variations in permeability as well as expressivity of some genes in individuals, therefore, a characterization through phenotype alone becomes limited, making it necessary to perform genetic analysis for differential diagnosis. In order to increase the knowledge and elucidate mechanisms of Kabuki syndrome, we suggest further studies that utilize animal models.

Tomography Scan

Abstract Background Hamman’s sign is a rare phenomenon. Louis Hamman described this pathognomonic clicking chest noise in association with pneumomediastinum in 1937. This typical noise can also be present in left-sided pneumothorax. Clinical cases already mention this pericardial knock in 1918 in gunshot wounds of the left chest and in 1928 in cases of spontaneous left-sided pneumothorax. However, the sound itself has only rarely been recorded. Case summary We describe a case of a young man with no significant medical history who was referred to the hospital with chest pain and audible clicks, documented with his smartphone. Imaging studies including chest radiograph and computed tomography scan revealed a left-sided pneumothorax. The patient underwent semi-urgent insertion of a thorax drain. His clinical outcome was excellent. Discussion In recent years only a few case reports describe Hamman’s sign, as it is rare and happens only transiently. This case report includes the audible clicks recorded by the patient with his smartphone. We stress the importance of thoracic clicking sounds as key symptom in the differential diagnosis of left-sided pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and valvular pathology such as mitral valve prolapse.

Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia

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.

Abutment Teeth

Restoring occlusal plane and occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) in patient with existing indirect restorations who must wear removable prostheses may be a challenge to the dental operator. Onlay removable partial dentures (RPD) are used to re-establish the occlusion in conjunction to replace missing teeth without having to remove the existing indirect restoration. This case report described prosthetic rehabilitation with onlay RPD in patients who were partially edentulous and has reduced OVD. The treatment involved a set of provisional RPD to re-establish the OVD, as well as to evaluate the function, esthetic and speech of the patient, followed by definitive onlay RPD. The mandibular onlay RPD was used to provide stable occlusion and to correct the uneven occlusal surface on the abutment teeth. This treatment able to improve patient’s chewing function through a simple removable prosthesis and conservative on the existing restorations.

Laboratory Procedures

Background: The absence of external ear may be due to congenital, traumatic, or surgical causes. Many case reports only describe impression techniques to record details of the defect side and the natural ear. The purpose of this case report is to explain in detail simple clinical and laboratory procedures involved in fabrication of ear prosthesis. Case Description and Methods: The use of three-part mold helps in the application of pigmented silicone in specific areas. The use of direct adhesive fixation provides the best esthetic result and if properly used the most satisfactory form of treatment. Findings and Outcomes: The patient was satisfied with the life-like appearance of the prosthesis. The use of direct adhesive fixation gave the patient a sense of security and improved his confidence. Conclusion: The technique described is economical, and additional steps of implant placement are avoided. The esthetics of the prosthesis made by hand carved clay pattern provides good details. Clinical relevance The technique describes the method of direct adhesive fixation of the prosthesis giving it a life-like appearance. The confidence of the patient is also restored.
