Abstract
The orofacial characteristics of ectodermal dysplasia include anodontia or hypodontia, hypoplastic conical teeth, underdevelopment of the alveolar ridges, frontal bossing, a depressed nasal bridge, protruberant lips, and hypotrichosis. Patients with this disease often need complex prosthodontic treatment. The options for a definitive treatment plan may include fixed, removable, or implant-supported prostheses, singly or in combination. However, financial constraints and other priorities can prevent the patient from choosing the most desirable treatment. This clinical report describes the diagnosis and treatment of ectodermal dysplasia in a 33-year-old man. The treatment included endodontic, restorative and definitive removable partial dentures fabricated to establish an acceptable therapeutic occlusal vertical dimension.
