Research progress on the diagnosis of ectodermal dysplasia and early oral prosthodontic treatment

doi:10.7518/hxkq.2025.2025173

Abstract

Abstract:

Ectodermal dysplasia is a group of hereditary diseases characterized by developmental defects of ectodermal structures. Its oral manifestations mainly center on congenital missing teeth, abnormal tooth morphology, and maxillofacial bone developmental disorders, which seriously affect the masticatory function, maxillofacial development, and mental health of affected children. In this article, the multidimensional diagnostic strategy system for children with ectodermal dysplasia and the related progress of early oral prosthodontic treatment methods were systematically reviewed to provide references for clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of children with ectodermal dysplasia.

Key words: ectodermal dysplasia, congential missing teeth, early prosthodontic treatment, disease diagnosis
