Surgical and implant-supported fixed prosthetic treatment of a patient with ectodermal dysplasia: a case report.

[oligodontia]

Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a hereditary disorder that affects ectodermal structures. The main clinical oral manifestations of ED include oligodontia and deficient alveolar ridges. This case report presents the oral rehabilitation of a 15-year-old female patient who never received an accurate diagnosis or appropriate dental care. Treatment included a combination of surgical intervention, a maxillary tooth-supported fixed detachable telescopic prosthesis, and an implant-supported mandibular fixed partial denture. The results showed a significant improvement in the esthetics, function, and psychological status of the patient. This article stresses the importance of appropriate care in providing an acceptable quality of life for patients with ED.
