Oral rehabilitation of a young patient with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: A clinical report

“The most common EDs are X-linked recessive hypohidrotic ED (Christ-SiemensTouraine syndrome) and hidrotic ED (Clouston syndrome).[1] Hypohidrotic ED represents with hypodontia or anodontia, hypotrichosis, and hypohidrosis or anhidrosis.”

“[2] Tooth malformations such as conical teeth and taurodontism of the molars are common findings, whereas oligodontia is a key feature in hypohidrotic ED.”

“tool which provides a close approximation of patients’ original occlusal curve, thereby permitting an ideal occlusal reconstruction.[11,12]”

“[1] Affected males have agenesis of primary and permanent teeth, whereas heterozygous females have agenesis of permanent teeth.[2] Tooth malformations such as conical teeth and taurodontism”

“Prosthodontic management of an ED patient includes fabrication of complete or partial removable prostheses, over dentures with or without tooth preparation, or overdenture with or without attachments, long-span fixed partial denture prosthesis, and dental implants.[4-7] The placement of implants in growing children is…”

“A limiting factor is that it is necessary to remake the prostheses to accommodate changes in occlusal plane as the person grows.[8] Hence, removable of denture is the suggested treatment modality for young patients due to rapid growth of the jaws, while the underdeveloped ridges may affect the retention and stability.”

“In this case scenario, the treatment philosophy followed is the full mouth rehabilitation using simultaneous restoration of both the arches as advocated by Bailey, Grubb, Linkow, Sendax, and Kazis.[9,10] Full mouth rehabilitation with longspan fixed partial denture resulted in improvement of the function, esthetics, a…”

“Teenagers – permanent dentition Fifteen case reports (17, 23, 29, 65-76) and two case series (21, 64) reported on prosthetic rehabilitation of 17 teenagers (13 males, four females) aged 10 to 17 years with HED (Table 3).”

“[3] Once full growth is attained, a fixed partial denture or an endosseous implant therapy can be performed in these patients.[10,11] In this case, though growth is attained, fixed dental prosthesis was ruled out in the lower arch, as it would have resulted in excessive forces on the remaining teeth due to long edentu…”

“Compared to healthy individuals of the same age and sex, children with ED often exhibit severe dental anomalies, such as various degrees of tooth agenesis from hypodontia to complete anodontia and malformed, small, and conical teeth [4–6].”

“The prevalence of ED is 7 cases out of 10,000 births [3].”

“The diagnosis of this case was determined by history, clinical and radiographic examinations, the same way is done by other authors [14,19-21], where dental, facial, fine, light and scarce hairs were observed, featuring ED.”
