Implant-supported Oral Rehabilitation in Child with Ectodermal Dysplasia — 4-year Follow-up
Open accessAbstract
Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is an anomaly determined by genetic factors that alter ectodermal structures such as skin, hair, nails, glands, and teeth. Children affected by this condition require extensive, comprehensive, and multidisciplinary treatment. An 8-year-old female patient visited the Dentistry Clinic of the Federal University of Santa Catarina with the chief complaint of multiple missing teeth. The mother reported that the patient had ED. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed the congenital absence of several primary and permanent teeth and tooth germs. Subsequent oral rehabilitation comprised the application of a maxillary denture and mandibular implant-supported fixed prosthesis. The child was also supplied with a wig for further enhancement of esthetics aimed at improving her emotional wellbeing. Psychological follow-up and speech therapy were also provided. After 4 years of follow-up, implant-supported oral rehabilitation has proved to be a satisfactory treatment option, allowing restoration of masticatory, phonetic, and esthetic function, as well as an improvement in the patient's self-esteem and social wellbeing.

The observed complications in mandibular implants primarily included implant submerge, implant rotation, and the need for prosthesis revision or replacement.
“The observed complications primarily included implant submerge, implant rotation, and the need for prosthesis revision or replacement [25, 31–34, 51–53].”
From Outcomes of dental implant treatment in 3–18 year old children with ectodermal dysplasia: a systematic review spanning three decades (2025) · cites this paper as [52]
The Outcomes section (page not available) reports replacement of both dentures after one year because they had become uncomfortable, followed by repositioning and occlusal adjustment at two years. The Discussion (page not available) says the risk of implant submergence was lower in this patient and that all implants remained favorably positioned at four years; it does not report submergence or rotation as observed complications.

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.
