  • Title: Overdenture restoration in a growing patient with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: a clinical report.
    Author: Pae A, Kim K, Kim HS, Kwon KR.
    Journal: Quintessence Int; 2011 Mar; 42(3):235-8. PubMed ID: 21465010.
    Abstract:
    Ectodermal dysplasia is a hereditary disorder of ectodermal origin. A 12-year-old boy was referred for management of the oral manifestations of his ectodermal dysplasia. An overdenture retained by natural teeth for the maxilla and a double-crown-retained denture for the mandible were made. Double-crown-retained dentures may be modified into complete dentures if the abutment teeth are lost. The patient was instructed to maintain oral hygiene and return periodically for follow-up visits. This report describes a potential routine approach to restoring the appearance, function, and psyche of a growing boy with ectodermal dysplasia.
