Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia--a case report

J Indian Soc Pedod Prev Dent. 1999 Sep;17(3):90-2.

Abstract

A case presented here is that of a nine year old male patient with total anodontia. Findings of this case as regards to the orofacial, radiographic and other general manifestations were suggestive of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. The dental problems were best managed by prosthetic replacement of dentition taking into consideration a design which would provide adequate relief for the preservation of the ridges which were thin and underdeveloped to the absence of teeth.
