Ectodermal dysplasia is a genetic disorder in which there are congenital birth abnormalities of 2 or more ectodermal structures. The treatment options for patient with ectodermal dysplasia varies depending on the age, degree of malformation of teeth, no of teeth present and the growth and development of the stomatognathic system. This case report discusses the prosthodontics rehabilitation of y...

Anhidrotic cctodcrmal dysplasia (AED) is a rare disorder characterised by a constellation ofdefect' involving the teeth. skin and appendageal structures. We report a child who had typical lealllrcs of this disorder.

Ectodermal dysplasias (ED) are characterized by impaired development of organs forming from the embryonic surface ectoderm. Thus, in ED organs like teeth, hair, nails and exocrine glands are hypoplastic or totally missing. The pathogenesis of the defects is starting to be understood thanks to the identification of the responsible gene mutations, and to the advances in developmental biology. Rap...

Hereditary ectodermal dysplasia is a rare group of inherited disorders characterized by aplasia or dysplasia of two or more tissues of ectodermal origin such as hair, nails, teeth, and skin. The dental characteristics of this syndrome include anodontia or hypodontia of the primary and/or permanent teeth, hypoplastic conical teeth, and underdevelopment of the alveolar ridges. The options for a d...

Brothers were affected with severe congenital contractures, multiple cutaneous manifestations of ectodermal dysplasia, cleft lip/palate, and psychomotor and growth impairment. High resolution prometaphase chromosomes were normal. Molecular studies of DNA markers, closely flanking the X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia locus, did not show evidence of a submicroscopic deletion from the Xq...
