Ann R Australas Coll Dent Surg. 2000 Oct:15:218-22.

Abstract

Oral rehabilitation is often difficult for the young child with ectodermal dysplasia. Most affected children require extensive dental treatment in order to restore their appearance and function. Early intervention also helps children develop a positive self-image. This paper will review the dental management and timing of different treatment modalities for children with ectodermal dysplasia.
