Abstract
Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare genetic disorder characterized by congenital abnormalities
of tissues and structures of ectodermal origin, such as the hair, nails, skin, sweat
glands, and teeth. Common dental characteristics include retained primary teeth, conical
shaped incisors and canines, and hypodontia or oligodontia. Early prosthodontic intervention
of young patients diagnosed with ectodermal dysplasia is essential as symptoms can
have substantial esthetic, functional, and psychosocial impacts. This clinical report
describes the fixed prosthodontic treatment of an adolescent patient with ectodermal
dysplasia by using a fully digital workflow. Digital workflows streamlined the treatment
process and allowed for esthetic, functional, and psychological improvements in an
efficient manner.
