Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) represents a group of hereditary disorders affecting ectoderm-derived structures, including teeth, hair, nails, and sweat glands. Dental anomalies, such as hypodontia, anodontia, and conical-shaped teeth, are hallmark features of this condition. This article presents two pediatric cases of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, each exhibiting distinct oral and functional manifestations. We discuss the clinical presentation, radiographic features, and individualized, multidisciplinary dental management strategies used for each child. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential to improve oral function, aesthetics, and psychosocial outcomes.
外胚层发育不全(ED)是一组影响外胚层衍生结构的遗传性疾病,这些结构包括牙齿、毛发、指甲和汗腺。牙齿异常,如牙量减少、无牙症和锥形牙,是这种疾病的标志性特征。本文介绍了两例少汗型外胚层发育不全的儿科病例,每例均表现出独特的口腔和功能表现。我们讨论了每个患儿的临床表现、影像学特征以及个体化的多学科牙齿治疗策略。早期诊断和干预对于改善口腔功能、美观和心理社会预后至关重要。
