Osseointegrated supported prosthesis and interdisciplinary approach for prosthodontic rehabilitation of a young patient with ectodermal dysplasia.
[]
Anhidrotic
ectodermal
dysplasia
is
a
triad
of
hypodontia
or
anodontia
,
hypotrichosis
,
and
hypohydrosis
,
associated
with
other
problems
that
result
from
the
defective
development
of
structures
of
ectodermal
origin
(
Freire-
Maia
,
Pinheiro
(
1988
)
)
.
Early
and
extensive
dental
treatment
is
needed
keeping
in
mind
the
effect
on
the
craniofacial
growth
.
Due
to
rapid
growth
of
the
jaws
,
the
patients
are
rehabilitated
using
removable
prostheses
(
Tarjan
et
al
.
(
2005
)
)
.
Hence
for
a
young
patient
in
this
case
report
,
the
placement
of
endosseous
osseointegrated
implants
was
delayed
till
adulthood
.
Finally
a
definitive
fixed
tooth-supported
and
osseointegrated
implant
supported
fixed
partial
denture
therapy
was
used
to
rehabilitate
the
patient
satisfactorily
after
she
had
completed
her
growth
(
Sweeney
et
al
.
(
2005
)
)
.
A
review
of
the
current
literature
relevant
to
several
aspects
of
syndromic
hypodontia
,
patient
selection
,
and
implant
planning
is
discussed
.
