Ectodermal Dysplasia with Oligodontia: A Rare Case—Rehabilitation by Prosthetic Management

[Oligodontia in 2 siblings with ectodermal dysplasia].

Oligodontia, a form of hypodontia, is commonly seen in permanent than in deciduous dentition. It is defined as the congenital absence of six or more teeth, excluding third molars. It is relatively a rare condition which occurs as an isolated finding or as part of a syndrome. The present paper shows a rare case of oligodontia with ectodermal dysplasia in 2 siblings (boys). Both the cases were as...

Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia: Prosthetic and Endodontic Management

Individuals affected by ectodermal dysplasia syndromes have abnormalities of the glands, tooth buds, hair follicles, and nail development. Oral finding in ectodermal dysplasia patient are significant and can include multiple abnormalities of the dentition such as anodontia, hy-podontia or malformed and widely spaced peg like teeth, loss of occlusal vertical dimension, protuberant lips and lack ...

Ectodermal dysplasia: aggressive treatment of oligodontia versus non-intervention?

Prosthodontists can serve as productive members of the craniofacial team and can help coordinate multidisciplinary treatment of patients with congenital anomalies. Often there are few, if any, evidence-based criteria to assist them in developing “correct” clinical protocols. When syndromes involve hypodontia, oligodontia, or anodontia, coordinating prosthetic treatment through phases of three-d...

Prosthetic Management of a Child with Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia: 6-Year Follow-Up

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 prosth...
