Ectodermal dysplasia is both physically and emotionally devastating to patients. With proper restorative intervention, the quality of life can be improved for patients with ectodermal dysplasia. This case report outlines a method of restoring function and esthetics for a 14-year-old boy with ectodermal dysplasia. It is important that these patients be treated at an early age to aid in their social interactions.
