Journal Title: Journal of International Dental and Medical Research - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper dental treatment of a 10-year-old male patient with ectodermal dysplasia was presented. A 10-year-old male patient with ectodermal displasia referred to Gulhane Medical Academy, Department of Pedodontics. Radiographic evaluation revealed that several teeth germs were absent. The treatment was planned by a multi-disciplinary team of pediatric dentist, orthodontist and prosthodontist. At first the conical central incisors were reshaped with direct composite restorations. Minimal orthodontic intervention was applied to close the diastema. To improve his facial esthetics, speech and oral function, removable prosthesis were applied. The results were significant improvements in speech, masticatory function, and facial esthetics, contributing to the development of normal dietary habits, and the improved and more rapid social integration of the patient.
