Abstract
The ectodermal dysplasias are rare diseases with hypodontia, hypotrichosis and hypohidrosis. The subject's life is considerably constrained and this from an early age, with major difficulties for the integration and acceptance of conventional prosthetic occlusal rehabilitation. The use of implants is an integral part of early treatment, in the regions of stable growth, that is to say symphysis. In two childs of 5 and 6 years we have made implant-borne prosthetic rehabilitation in the maxilla and the mandible. Aesthetic and social evaluation were positive. We have restored the normal oro-facial functions for the correct development of skeletal bases. They acted as an external fixator intraoral, stimulating the growth by the function. Our question was: can we leave a child throughout his childhood and adolescence with a not suitable removable prosthesis, under the pretext of growth unfinished?

Summary
The ectodermal dysplasias are rare diseases with hypodontia, hypotrichosis and hypohidrosis. We have restored the normal oro-facial functions for the correct development of skeletal bases. They acted as an external fixator intraoral, stimulating the growth by the function. ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIAS (E.D.) a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by developmental abnormalities of ectodermal structures. Hypotrichosis, hypodontia, onychodysplasia and hypohidrosis are the principal symptoms to more or less marked degrees. This classification is based on clinical signs and symptoms as the pathogenesis and molecular genetics remain relatively unknown [2]
