Abstract:

Introduction: Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a group of disorders, an inherent condition where the ectodermal layer of the skin is abnormally developed. There are over 100 types of ectodermal dysplasia with an international prevalence of about 7 to 10,000 births. The most common type of ectodermal dysplasia is hypohidrotic ED which is X linked recessive therefore seen mostly in males. There is a variety of classification systems for ED which allows physicians to know which ectodermal structure is affected. A combination of defects to the nails, hair, skin, sweat glands, mucous membranes, and teeth may be seen. Dentally, teeth may be missing, abnormally shaped and or mal positioned.  



Case Report: This presentation discusses a 4-year-old male patient who was referred to Staten Island University Hospital. The patient is diagnosed with ectodermal dysplasia by PCP. The parent came with the patient with the chief complaint: “My child is missing several teeth and the ones that he does have cavities. I want to save these teeth.” Patient reports no pain. The patient is not currently taking any medications. The patient has no reported drug and/or food allergies. Clinical examination reveals teeth E and F present. Teeth E and F have decay clinically and radiographically. Decay not extending into pulp. PAN reveals tooth buds present for 8,9, and 31. This report will include clinical and radiographic findings associated with ectodermal dysplasia, differential diagnosis and treatment rendered.
