• Resumen

  • This case report describes the oral rehabilitation of a female child with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia over a 6-year time period. It demonstrates the need for periodic modification and replacement of a prosthesis, an orthodontic appliance, and a gingivoplasty. Although the initial treatment plan was considered to be a compromise due to limited cooperation, an improvement was observed in the patient's social behavior as a consequence of her dental treatment. The effects of unavoidable changes in the dental team over 6 years are also discussed.
