FERREIRA, Christiane Santos et al. Ectodermal Dysplasia: case report. Arq. Odontol. [online]. 2012, vol.48, n.1, pp. 47-52. ISSN 1516-0939.

Ectodermal dysplasia includes a large and heterogeneous group of hereditary diseases characterized by clinical manifestations related to alterations in ectodermal structures, mainly hair, nails, teeth, and skin. The present study describes a clinical case of an eleven-year-old male patient that sought out dental services at a dentistry clinic in a higher education institution in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The patient presented characteristics of ectodermic dysplasia, in hypohidrotic form, and a medical record of a number of members of the maternal family who had also been affected. A literature review and a discussion concerning the etiology and treatment for the described case was also carried out.
