RAMIREZ, Mayra; JAIMES, Leidy; PIERUCCINI, Jose F  and  RODRIGUEZ, Martha J. Ectodermal dysplasia: A case report. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2016, vol.26, n.3, pp.162-167. ISSN 1019-4355.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/reh.v26i3.2960.

Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED) is a genetic disorder characterized by alterations affecting the derived ectoderm structures; the syndrome usually presents hypohidrosis, hypotrichosis and hypodontia, the latter being a fairly significant event for dentists. This case report aimed to show a patient who went to a dentistry appointment and where ectodermal defects such as poor thin hair and enamel quality alterations suggested an ED case; also a comparison of ED types was done.

Keywords : Ectodermal dysplasia; hypohidrosis; hypotrichosis.
