Rashedi,

Prosthodontic treatment with implant fixed prosthesis for a patient with ectodermal dysplasia: a clinical report.

Oral characteristics of ectodermal dysplasia ( ED) include hypodontia or anodontia of the primary or permanent teeth, impacted teeth, malformed and widely spaced peg-like teeth, and underdeveloped alveolar ridges. Patients with this disease often need a multidisciplinary approach to treatment planning and dental treatment to regain appropriate function, esthetics, and comfort. The definitive treatment plan may include removable, fixed, or implant-supported prostheses or a combination of these options. Depending on the remaining available alveolar bone and the pattern of missing teeth, the ideal treatment option for an adult ED patient often includes the use of implants. This clinical report describes the multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment of ED in a 37-year-old woman. The treatment included a mandibular implant-supported fixed denture and a maxillary conventional overdenture fabricated to establish acceptable occlusal vertical dimension, esthetics, and oral function.[1]
