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.

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.

Aim: Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare hereditary disease that arises from a developmental disorder of 2 or more ectoderm-derived tissues. Ectodermal dysplasia is seen in 3 different types: anhidrotic, hypohidrotic, and hidrotic. Its anhidrotic and hypohidrotic types are the most common. This study presents the intraoral findings and dental treatment approach of a case diagnosed with hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia that demonstrates the typical characteristics of the disease, such as anodontia, hypohydrosis (reduced sweating), hypotrichosis (sparse hair), and loss of vertical dimension. Methodology: A 5-year-old male patient presented to the clinic of the Prosthetic Dental Treatment Department of the School of Dentistry at Dicle University on 25.10.2020 with complaint of missing teeth. A genetic analysis conducted in 2016 showed that he was a homozygous carrier of the p.Cys148Arg (c.442 T>C) mutation on the 5th exon of the ectodysplasin-A receptor (EDAR) gene. The mutation detected in the patient was associated with ectodermal dysplasia. An extraoral clinical examination revealed sparse hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes; soft, smooth, and dry skin; thin, linear wrinkles around the eyes and the lips; drooping, thickened lips; a sunken nose; fractured nails; hyperthermia due to lack of sweat glands; hyperkeratosis in the skin and soles of the feet; 2 nipples on one side of the chest; and reduced vertical facial height. An intraoral examination revealed anodontia; there were no teeth on the maxilla or the mandible and no radiographically identified tooth germ. Dry mouth due to a lack of sufficient saliva was another finding. Conclusion: In this case report, in the presence of anodontia, a removable total prosthesis, which is a non-invasive treatment option, was applied. Production of endosseous implants was postponed for a later time following the patient’s growth and development.   How to cite this article: Gökçe D, Ayna E, Seyfioğlu Polat Z.

Abstract The aim of this clinical report is to describe the management of a young patient, affected by ectodermal dysplasia, during a nine-year period. Dental treatment can vary depending on the severity of the disease (tooth size, morphology, and amount of available alveolar bone). New technologies, such as adhesive dentistry, and new materials, such as composite resin, represent current options in the management of the dental rehabilitation of patients affected by ectodermal dysplasia. Removable partial dentures were used to replace congenitally missing teeth, and composite resin materials were used to restore conical-shaped maxillary teeth to achieve a favorable esthetic result. This option minimized the sacrifice of healthy dental tissue. Prosthodontic and restorative treatment was provided for the psychological and social comfort of the young patient.

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.
