ABSTRACT
Purpose:
The study showed a patient with Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED) who was treated with implants and fixed dental prosthesis by a multidisciplinary team.

After imaging and treatment planning, four implants were placed in the inter-foramenal area of the mandible and 2 years later the definitive prosthesis was fitted. In a second phase, the patient received a combination of autogenous and allogeneic bone grafts in the maxilla. The autogenous graft was removed from the retro-molar region in the mandible. He also received a fixed dental prosthesis supported by 4 implants on the position of the upper canines and second pre-molars.Conclusion:
Patient reports successful outcomes and despite the long treatment, patient states is confident with his appearance and speaking improvement. Follow-up was done every six months, for 10 years, and showed encouraging post-treatment outcomes.
