Prosthetic habilitation of a young patient with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and oligodontia: a case report of 20 years of treatment.

Abstract

PURPOSE:

The aim of this article is to describe the oral habilitation, over a period of 20 years, of a young patient with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and agenesis of 15 permanent teeth.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Different clinical interventions were adapted to suit the patient's dental and psychologic stage of development. The prosthodontic treatment, which took place at different ages, comprised several treatment modalities: composite-retained onlay fixed partial dentures, a removable partial denture, tooth-supported and implant-supported fixed partial dentures, and laminate crown therapy.

RESULTS:

The different phases of treatment were successful, and the patient is satisfied from a functional as well as a psychosocial point of view.

CONCLUSION:

Extensive prosthodontic treatment in growing individuals should preferably be performed with a multidisciplinary team approach. In treatment that is planned and performed over long periods, this approach has the advantages of continuity and shared responsibility for therapy decisions.
