title: Review of ectodermal dysplasia: case report on treatment planning and surgical management of oligodontia with implant restorations.
abstract: Dental implants have proven to be a reliable modality for the rehabilitation of missing teeth. However, there are limited reports on managing anodontia related to ectodermal dysplasia in the scientific literature. The severely reduced bone quantity due to the congenital absence of multiple natural teeth is the biggest challenge for the surgeon. There are a variety of bone augmentation procedures to establish adequate bone quantity, and the surgical planning should be used on an individual case basis. This is a report of a 19-year-old male patient affected by hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. Oligodontia associated with severe atrophy of jaws was the chief complaint for seeking treatment. Based on clinical and radiographic examinations, 2 bone augmentation procedures were used to obtain sufficient width of alveolus for implant placement by performing an onlay bone graft in the maxilla and vertical distraction osteogenesis in the mandible. The treatment planning was discussed and informed consent was obtained.
