Displasia ectodérmica en odontopediatría

Ectodermal dyspasia (ED) is a hereditary disease that includes genetic and environmental changes. ED causes hypodontia, dystrophic nails, sparse hair and dental anomalies. Oral rehabilitation treatment for pediatric patients with ED is difficult because of continuous development and craniofacial growth. The aim of this study was to present a case report of oral rehabilitation in pediatric patients diagnosed with ED. A 5- year, 6-month-old girl reported to the clinic of Pediatric Dentistry in University Anhanguera UNIDERP-BR. Extraoral examination showed that the patient was an oral breather, and presented with decreased lower face height, protruding and everted lips, prominent forehead, “horse saddle” nose, lack of hair, eyelashes and eyebrows, thin and dry skin. Intraoral examination demonstrated absence of teeth: 51/52, 61/62/63, 71/72, 81/82 and tree conical teeth: 53, 73 and 83. The radiographic examination revealed agenesis of 9 primary teeth and of the buds of the following permanent teeth: 11/12/13, 21/22/23, 41/42, 31/32, we observed the presence of teeth buds of 33 and 43. Considering physical and radiographic characteristics hydrotic ectodermal was diagnosed. As clinical management, we opted for the installation of removable functional aesthetic maintainers, favoring the speech normality, swallowing, lip and lingual muscle tone and social development.
