[Potentials of the interdisciplinary care of children with ectodermal dysplasia]

Children with ectodermal dysplasia represent a group of patients demanding highly sophisticated dental care. Characteristic morphological and functional oral problems lead to special technical difficulties and additionally, the altered psychology of these children requires empathy in treatment. With respect to these problems, children with ectodermal dysplasia are treated in our clinics, multidepartmental cooperation. The interplay between stimulative, restorative and prosthodontic therapy has been shown to be of great benefit for these children.
