ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA WITH ANODONTIA; A CASE REPORT

Ectodermal dysplasia comprises a hereditary disorder which occurs as a consequence of disturbances in the ectoderm of
the developing embryo. The triad of nail dystrophy, alopecia or hypotrichosis and palmoplantar hyperkeratosis is also
accompanied by a lack of sweat glands and a partial or complete absence of primary and/or permanent dentition. A case reports illustrating the
prosthetic rehabilitation of a young girl with anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia associated with complete anodontia is presented. Since the oral
rehabilitation of such case is often difcult; particularly in pediatric patients, treatment should be administered by a multidisciplinary team
involving pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, prosthodontics and oral-maxillofacial surgery
