Oral rehabilitation of a hereditary ectodermal dysplasia with implant-supported prostheses: A case report

Abstract

Prosthodontic rehabilitation of patient with ectodermal dysplasia is challenging due to the oral deficiencies typical in
this disorder. Ectodermal dysplasia is heterogeneous group of inherited disorders in which two or more ectodermally
derived anatomic structures fail to develop. This case report outlined a clinical course of restoring functions and
esthetics for a 21 year old female with hypohydrotic ectodermal dysplasia who was treated with implant supported
dental prosthesis. The patient was completely satisfied and showed significant improvement in oral functions and
psychosocial activities.
