Prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with ectrodactyly‐ectodermal dysplasia‐cleft lip/palate syndrome through a hybrid workflow: A case report with 2‐year follow‐up
Open accessAbstract
Aim: Ectrodactyly‐ectodermal dysplasia‐cleft lip/palate (EEC) syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects ectodermal derived structures, including teeth, nails, hair, and sweat glands. Prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with EEC syndrome is essential towards improving their overall quality of life. Methods and Results: In the case shown, a telescopic retained overdenture was made on the lower jaw based on digital impression of a patient with EEC syndrome associated with cleft lip and cleft palate. Due to the congenital anomalies and limited mouth opening, the impression was taken with intraoral scanner, and after designing the telescopes on the digital model, the primary and secondary telescopes were confectioned by selective laser sintering. Conclusion: Combining digital dental technology and conventional clinical prosthetic treatment methods, results in a well‐functioning overdenture even in such complicated situations. The prosthodontic rehabilitation of patients with ECC helps to restore the masticatory and phonetic functions, increases the patient's self‐esteem, and prevents further psychological trauma caused by hypodontia.

Overdentures are particularly advantageous in growing children, as they help preserve alveolar bone and maintain vertical dimension more effectively than partial dentures.

Van Waas et al. demonstrated that patients rehabilitated with overdentures experienced significantly less alveolar bone loss after two years compared to those with conventional dentures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
