Prosthetic Rehabilitation in a Child with Hereditary Ectodermal Dysplasia
Journal Title: International Archives of BioMedical and Clinical Research - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Hereditary ectodermal dysplasia is a disease linked to the X recessive chromosome that affects the development of tissues derived from the ectoderm. The main clinical manifestations include hypohidrosis (inability to sweat), hypotrichosis (sparse hair) and hypodontia (lack teeth). This work presents a clinical case of a 6-year old male child who had been diagnosed with hereditary ectodermal dysplasia. The treatment consisted of the fabrication of a mandibular and maxillary complete denture to improve his esthetic, functional and psychological conditions.
