Abstract
The hereditary condition known as ectodermal dysplasia is characterized by the absence or defect of 2 or more ectodermally derived structures, including teeth, skin, nails, hair and sweat glands. The dental characteristics of this syndrome include anodontia or hypodontia of the primary and/or permanent teeth, hypoplastic conical teeth, and Underdevelopment of the alveolar ridges. The options for a definitive treatment plan may include fixed, removable, or implant-supported prostheses, singly or in combination.This article aims to shed light on the prosthetic rehabilitation of two brothers presenting with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
