title: Restoration of Atrophic Edentulous Maxilla of a Patient with Ectodermal Dysplasia Using Quadruple Zygomatic Implants: A Case Report.
abstract: Rehabilitation of patients with ectodermal dysplasia often presents clinical challenge due to hypodontia, anodontia, and severe atrophy of edentulous ridges. Zygomatic implant therapy can be used as a method of achieving osseointegration without bone grafting in such situations. This clinical report describes the dental rehabilitation of atrophic maxilla of a 26-year old female patient with a fixed prosthesis, immediately loaded on four zygomatic implants.
