Abstract

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a congenital, non-progressive disorder characterized by hypodontia, hypohidrosis and hypotrichosis. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked patterns. The diagnosis is established by genetic tests or after infancy, based on physical features. In some patients, the pattern of inheritance is determined by family history and in others by molecular genetic testing. Characteristic changes in teeth in these patients are: both deciduous and permanent teeth are affected, the alveolar ridges are hypoplastic, missing teeth or retarded growth of teeth, peg-shaped, tooth enamel is also defective. Dental treatment is necessary and children as young as 2 years may need dentures. Through this manuscript, we report a case of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
