Abstract



 



Ectodermal dysplasia is a hereditary disorder that occurs as a consequence of disturbances in the ectoderm of the developing embryo Primarily affected tissues are the skin, hair, nails, eccrine glands, and teeth. The disorders are congenital, diffuse, and nonprogressive. Common oral findings are anodontia or hypodontia, conical teeth, consequently generalized spacing, and poor bony foundation which impairs both aesthetic as well as the masticatory function. The dental management of patients with such dysplastic condition necessitates a multidisciplinary approach. This case report details the dental rehabilitation of a 16-year old female to maximize opportunities for the best possible oral function and esthetics.
