Abstract

Ectodermal dysplasia is commonly a difficult condition to manage with prosthodontics because of the typical oral deficiencies and because the afflicted individuals are quite young when they are evaluated for treatment. It is important that these individuals receive dental treatment at an early age for physiologic and psychosocial reasons. This article reviews the literature that pertains to the prosthodontic treatment of the disorder and the review includes considerations in behavior management and timing of treatment.
