ABSTRACT


Aim

This case report describes a method of restoring function and aesthetics in a 9-year-old girl with ectodermal
dysplasia with 15 years follow-up. Ectodermal dysplasia is both physically and emotionally devastating to patients. It is
important that they are treated at an early age to help their social interaction. With proper dental intervention, the quality of
life can be improved for patients with ectodermal dysplasia.
