Abstract
|
|
|
|
Ectodermal dysplasia is a condition in which two or more ectodermal origins fail to develop. X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, the most common form of this disorder, is characterized by a triad of signs: hypohidrosis, hypotrichosis, and hypodontia. Dental management of these patients is necessary not only for their functional and esthetic needs, but for social rehabilitation. This report shows a case of a patient with anodontia from ectodermal dysplasia, treated with maxillary and mandibular complete dentures. The overall process of fabricating dentures followed that for edentulous elderly patients. Each step is challenging both for the patient and the clinician. Children usually cannot endure certain procedures such as impression taking. Teeth selection and denture retention are another consideration for clinicians, since jaws are continuously growing and developing in children. In this case, both the patient and his parents reported satisfaction after rehabilitation, and short term follow up results show good stability and retention in both dentures.
