Abstract :
Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare hereditary
disorder associated with dysplasia of the tissues of
ectodermal origin. The dental characteristics include are
oligodontia, anodontia etc. which not only affects their
phonetics but nutritional status as well. Among the
choices for a final treatment strategy are fixed,
removable, or implant-supported prosthesis, either
separately or in combination. This case report describes
the management of an 18-year-old girl with sporadic
ectodermal dysplasia, with an interim conventional
maxillary complete denture and hollow mandibular
complete denture in order to provide for the patient an
acceptable masticatory function, speech, and aesthetics.
The case has been treated using unconventional
impression techniques and same has been described in
detail.
