Dental implant reconstruction in a patient with ectodermal dysplasia using multiple bone grafting techniques.
Ectodermal dysplasia is a syndrome in which 2 ectodermally derived structures fail to develop. Patients have a reduced number of teeth, and dental implant reconstruction is the preferred method of replacing teeth. We report the use of the tent pole technique in the severely resorbed mandible with sinus lifts and block grafting in the maxilla to restore the maxillofacial complex of a female patient with ectodermal dysplasia. The treatment sequence and techniques are discussed.
