title: Management of a case of ectodermal dysplasia: a multidisciplinary approach.
abstract: Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a rare disorder involving 2 or more of the ectodermal structures, which include the skin, hair, nails, teeth, mucus glands, and sweat glands. Each person with ectodermal dysplasia may have a different combination of defects. The most common form of ED is  linked to the X chromosome and usually affects men. Another form of the disease affects men and women equally. The patient's special needs are taken into consideration in a treatment plan. The purpose of this case report was to describe the dental management of a 9-year-old boy with ectodermal  dysplasia whose maxilla showed the presence of mobile, conical teeth that were unrestorable and a solitary permanent left molar, while his mandible was completely edentulous. These mobile, conical teeth were extracted, and a complete denture was constructed to restore the patient's esthetics,  form, and function.
