Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) encompasses a heterogeneous group of nearly 100 inherited disorders and is characterized by anomalies in two or more structures derived from the embryonic ectoderm. The clinical presentation is highly variable with skin, hair, teeth and sweat glands most commonly affected. Orofacial characteristics of ED include facial clefts, thin hair, sparse lashes and eyebrows, cleft lip and/or palate, missing teeth, poorly formed teeth, enamel dysplasia, and xerostomia. While ED affects both males and females, the exact incidence and prevalence of the disorder in the general population is unknown. This case report reviews the dental management and treatment of a thirteen year old boy who visited Mott Children’s Health Center in Flint, MI.
