SANCHEZ-TITO, Marco A.. Oral and cephalometric characteristics of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: Case report. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2022, vol.32, n.1, pp.74-78.  Epub Apr 22, 2022. ISSN 1019-4355.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/reh.v32i1.4186.

Hypohydrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a genetic disorder that affects the development of ectodermal tissues. This study reports a case of a 5-year-old male patient, with clinical extra and intraoral characteristics of HED. The intraoral clinical examination revealed a generalized absence of teeth, panoramic radiograph revealed the presence of permanent first molars with taurodontism, and confirm the oligodontia. Cephalometric analysis revealed a class III skeletal relationship, due to deficiency in the sagittal development of the maxilla and an anti-clockwise growth tendency. Alterations in craniofacial development require multidisciplinary treatment and long-term follow-up to monitor craniofacial growth.

Keywords : Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia; cephalometry; maxillofacial development.
