Abstract
Introduction: Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare genetic disorder that affects structures derived from ectoderm such as teeth, hair, nails, and sweat glands. Oligodontia is a common finding that affects the chewing, smiling and self- esteem of these pediatric patients. Case Report: We present a case report of a 7-years-old pediatric patient who consulted with his mother, showing the same condition. The intervention consisted of a removable prosthesis with satisfactory results. Conclusion: The X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia represents a challenge for a pediatric dentist who offers rehabilitation to the patient according to craniofacial development, age, socioeconomic status, and the number of missing teeth.
