Abstract
Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED) is an X-linked inherited disorder with male predominance. Female patients may show partial expression of Ectodermal Dysplasia. Significant findings include hypodontia, hyposalivation, protuberant lips, conical teeth and loss of vertical dimension. The alveolar ridge fails to develop properly. Thus it presents as a challenge to dental treatment. This paper presents a case of prosthodontic rehabilitation of an 8 years old girl having hypodontia associated with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with removable partial denture in maxilla after temporary fixed prosthesis and complete denture in mandible to rehabilitate the patient for esthetics and function.
