Prosthetic Treatment Options for Children with Oligodontia due to Hidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia

Abstract

Replacement of teeth not only contributes to adequate nutrition and phonetics, but also improves the smile and appearance, in addition to its positive impact on the psychological and emotional health of the affected children. Three cases of children with oligodontias associated with hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia who were treated at the prosthetics consultation of the Specialized Dental Clinic in Cienfuegos are presented. They were rehabilitated through acrylic removable partial dentures, overdenture and fixed partial denture, respectively. These are effective treatment options that solve the aesthetic and functional problems of the patients, and therefore improve their quality of life.
