Abstract

Ectodermal dysplasias are a complex group of genetically determined disorders clinically characterized by congenital alterations of the structures derived from the ectoderm. Even though ectodermal dysplasia with partial anodontia is common, this condition with total anodontia is not commonly seen. We describe features of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with oligodontia in a 9 and13 year-old brothers. In order to improve esthetics, speech and mastication, the child was provided with upper and lower removable partial dentures.
