Abstract
Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is an inherited disorder that affects the
ectodermal-derived structures of developing embryos, such as skin, teeth, hair,
nails, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands. It typically presents as missing
teeth (anodontia/hypodontia), sparse hair (hypotrichosis), lack of sweat glands
(hypohidrosis), abnormal nails [onychodysplasia], and palmoplantar
hyperkeratosis. There are two major types of this condition: X-linked anhidrotic
or hypohidrotic and hidrotic (autosomal type). Oral manifestations of
ectodermal dysplasia include missing teeth, with or without cleft lip and
palate, conical or peg-shaped teeth, delayed eruption of permanent teeth, thin
knife-edge-shaped alveolar ridges, etc. This case report details the
prosthodontic rehabilitation of a 6-year-old patient with hypohidrotic
ectodermal dysplasia and typical dental manifestations of oligodontia.
