Abstract:
Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by congenital anomalies in ectodermal tissues, with dental manifestations commonly including hypodontia or oligodontia. Addressing the significant aesthetic, functional, and psychosocial challenges associated with HED requires early surgical and prosthodontic intervention following skeletal maturation. This clinical report details a digital workflow for complete-arch implant rehabilitation of the maxilla and mandible, combined with orthognathic surgery, in an adolescent patient with HED. Integrating digital technologies enhanced treatment planning, surgical precision, and prosthetic outcomes, improving aesthetics, functionality, and overall patient quality of life.
