Oral rehabilitation of a patient with ectodermal dysplasia with prosthodontics treatment

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: A case report with review and latest updates

Ectodermal dysplasia represents a group of inherited conditions in which two or more ectodermally derived anatomical structures fail to develop resulting in most notably anhidrosis/hypohidrosis, hypotrichosis and hypodontia. It is a xlinked recessive disorder with male predominance. We report a classical case in a 17-year-old male with emphasis on review of literature and latest updates.

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with autosomal recessive inheritance pattern: Report of a rare and unusual case with a brief review of literature

Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a congenital disorder primarily affecting the ectodermal tissue, with infrequent dysfunction of mesodermally derived tissues. Clinically, there are two major forms seen, hypohidrotic/Christ–Siemens–Touraine syndrome and hidrotic/Clouston syndrome, depending on the number and function of sweat glands. A multidisciplinary treatment protocol is usually followed and necessitates collective efforts by medical and dental professionals. Dental intervention should be done as early as possible to ameliorate the patient's esthetics and enhance the emotional and psychological quotient in these patients. This case report aims to highlight a rare and interesting report of hypohidrotic ED in a young female patient with a possible autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.

Dental management of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: A report of two cases

Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) represents a group of inherited conditions characterized by anomalies in two or more structures of ectodermal origin, which can be presented as problems related to hair, nail, teeth, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands. Based on clinical findings, there are two major types of this disorder: (1) Hypohidrotic/anhidrotic and (2) hidrotic ED. The anhidrotic/hypohidrotic ED (HED) is the more severe form and is associated with more dental defects. This article presents with prosthetic rehabilitation including removable partial and complete denture and implant supported overdenture of two male children of a family presenting with HED.

Ectodermal Dysplasia-Skin Fragility Syndrome: A Rare Case Report

Ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome (ED-SFS) is a newly described autosomal recessive disorder characterized by skin fragility and blistering, palmoplantar keratoderma, abnormal hair growth, nail dystrophy, and occasionally defective sweating. It results from mutations in the PKP1 gene encoding plakophilin 1 (PKP1), which is an important component of stratifying epithelial desmosomes and a nuclear component of many cell types. Only 12 cases of this rare genodermatosis have been reported so far. We present an unusual case of ED-SFS in a 12-year boy who was normal at birth but subsequently developed skin fragility, hair and nail deformities, abnormal dentition, palmoplantar keratoderma, and abnormal sweating but no systemic abnormality.
