Prosthodontic management of a patient with ectodermal dysplasia.

[oligodontia]

Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare congenital disease that affects the ectodermal structures. It is characterized by hypotrichosis, hypohidrosis and hypodontia. A 14-year-old boy with ectodermal dysplasia presenting with oligodontia and marked resorption of the maxillary and mandibular alveolar ridges is reported. Prosthetic rehabilitation in the form of a maxillary and mandibular partial denture was made with metal crowns on existing lower teeth to achieve appropriate vertical dimension. Significant improvement in speech, masticatory function and facial esthetics was achieved. Removable prosthodontics can provide an acceptable solution to esthetic, functional and psychological rehabilitation in patients with ectodermal dysplasia.
