INTRODUCTION This clinical report describes the oral rehabilitation of a 7-year-old male diagnosed with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and anodontia. BACKGROUND Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) comprises a large, heterogeneous group of inherited disorders, which are defined by primary defects in the development of two or more tissues derived from the embryonic ectoderm (skin, hair follicles, nail...

The general aim of this thesis was to broaden our knowledge of the signs and symptoms, genetics, and outcomes of dental implant treatment in individuals with oligodontia or ectodermal dysplasia. Article I is a population-based study in three Swedish counties of 162 individuals with oligodontia, which was a prevalence of 0.09%. The intent was to explore ways for dentists to assess symptoms from ...

Ectodermal Dysplasia is a hereditary disorder commonly associated with trichodysplasia (abnormal hair), onchodysplasia nails), dyshidrosis or missing sweat glands) and abnormal dentition. Due to ectodermal dysplasia, for missing, abnormally shaped, mal-positioned teeth, wide range of prosthetic options are available oral rehabilitation. This case report represents prosthodontic rehabilitation c...

Background: This study aimed to examine the effects of ectodermal dysplasia (ED) on transverse width maxillary bone.

The ectodermal dysplasias represent a group of inherited disorders characterized by defects in tissues that are derived from ectoderm. Freire-Maia and Pinheiro describe more than 100 different taxonomic groupings of ectodermal dysplasia across a wide spectrum of clinical presentation. The classic form of ectodermal dysplasia (Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome) is thought to be X-linked and invol...

BACKGROUND X-linked recessive hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED; OMIM 305100) is a rare genodermatosis characterized clinically by developmental abnormalities affecting the teeth, hair and sweat glands. Mutations in the EDA-A1 gene have been associated with XLHED. Recently, mutations in the EDA-A1 gene have also been implicated in isolated X-linked recessive hypodontia (XLRH; OMIM 313500...
