Abstract
The aim of this clinical report is to describe the management of a 20-year-old female patient affected by ectodermal dysplasia. Dental treatment can vary depending on the severity of the disease and age of the patient. The definitive treatment plan may include removable, fixed or implant-supported prostheses or a combination of these options depending on the remaining alveolar bone and pattern of missing teeth. The patient had ten retained deciduous teeth and only 14 permanent teeth (oligodontia). The retained deciduous canines were peg shaped. Wide midline diastema was evident. Maxillary and mandibular arches were poorly developed. Examination also revealed anterior open bite and bilateral posterior cross bite. All the teeth were not well aligned and there was no occlusion at all. Patients with disease often need a multidisciplinary team approach to treatment planning and dental treatment to regain appropriate function, esthetics and comfort. Keywords: Clinical report, Ectodermal dysplaia, Oligodontia, Midline diastema, Posterior crossbite.
