This case study highlights a rare instance of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in a 17-year-old female with significant dental anomalies. The condition presented with characteristic skin and hair abnormalities, necessitating full denture restoration.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Genetics
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare genetic disorder affecting ectodermal structures.
  • It is characterized by the classic triad of hypodontia, hypotrichosis, and hypohidrosis.
  • Consanguinity is a known risk factor in some genetic disorders.

Observation:

  • A 17-year-old female presented with severe hypodontia, having only one deciduous tooth.
  • Physical examination revealed dry, smooth skin with sparse, pale hair (pallideflavens), and absence of axillary and pubic hair.
  • Oral findings included everted lips and poor alveolar crest development.

Findings:

  • The patient's presentation was consistent with a rare manifestation of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
  • Genetic factors, potentially linked to consanguinity in three generations, are implicated.

  • Dental rehabilitation with a full denture was performed to restore mastication.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and comprehensive management of HED.
    • Understanding the genetic basis and phenotypic variability is crucial for genetic counseling.
    • Prosthodontic solutions are vital for improving quality of life in patients with severe hypodontia.
