Ectodermal Dysplasia Completed Treatment

This patient presented with a congenital disorder known as Ectodermal Dysplasia.  As a result she was congenitally missing teeth 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17-32.  Also, her teeth present were malformed.  Previous dental treatment included PFM crowns on teeth 7, 8, 9, 10; an interim maxillary removable partial denture; and a mandibular complete removable prosthesis.  Her treatment included: extensive grafting in the maxillary edentulous areas; implants in sites 4, 6, 11, 13, 20, 22, 24, 27, and 29; Zirconia crowns on teeth 3 and 14; porcelain fused to zirconia crowns on teeth 7-10; porcelain fused to metal screw retained fixed partial dentures 4-6 and 11-13; and a mandibular metal acrylic five implant retained complete dental prosthesis (hybrid).

Ectodermal Dysplasia: maxillary rehab (implants and teeth) and mandibular hybrid prosthesis

 This patient has ectodermal dysplasia.  She has never experienced life with teeth.  Her primary concern was to finally "get some teeth."  Her final treatment plan included 6 maxillary PFM crowns on natural teeth, two maxillary implant cantilever FPDs, and a mandibular five implant fixed metal-acylic prosthesis (hybrid).  She was and is one of the most grateful patients I've ever treated.
