Abstract

The ectodermic dysplasia is a very rare genetic disease that is characterized by impressive odontostomatological manifestations. It presents interesting aspects regarding the diagnosis and the joined orthodontic, prosthetic and aesthetic rehabilitation. A 9-year-old patient with clinical manifestations of ectodermic dysplasia, mainly anodontia, hypoplasia of the anterior tooth and tooth malposition, with cone-like tooth, abnormalities of the cusps and psychological affectation, presented for care at the Orthodontics Service of the INPE Dental Clinic. By a joint treatment of orthdontics and the general stomatologist, it was possible to restore malocclusion and, at the same time, with the aesthetic treatment the patient was returned to the socially useful and affective life before being 15.
