title: Using endosseous dental implants for patients with ectodermal dysplasia.
abstract: Congenitally missing teeth and poorly developed or absent alveolar ridges are signs often associated with various types of ectodermal dysplasia. Endosseous dental implants may be used to support fixed mandibular prostheses in patients with ectodermal dysplasia. Anatomical factors and age considerations require careful attention to treatment planning.
