Abstract:
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND:Ectodermal dysplasia is a well recognized syndrome which is is characterized by congenital dysplasia of one or more structures derived from embryonic ectoderm.Oral findings are of particular interest since the disease is characterized by hypodontia, oligodontia or anodontia, which can, moreover, affect both the maxilla and mandible and cause delayed eruption, malformed teeth, producing a small, pointed, conical appearance; and resorption or atrophy of the alveolar border, thus complicating the fundamental rehabilitation procedure in these patients. Prosthodontic management of this patient was challenging for all steps right from impression making to use of dentures because of the fragile mucosa, poor alveolar ridges and decreased salivation. Treatment commenced as soon as possible in order to avoid possible resorption and atrophy of the alveolar ridges, and to control the difficulties in eating and speaking.This research articles deals with the recent updates in the prosthetic management of ectodermal dysplasia and review on various related articles. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A questionnaire based study consisting of 15 questions and was distributed among local population. The sample size was 100. The research was done among the prosthetic postgraduate students in chennai. RESULT: From the survey we come to know that most of the students were aware of oral and clinical manifestations and the treatment but nearly 70% of the students were not aware of some specific conditions,gene mutations and behaviour management techniques in the treatment of ectodermal dysplasia. CONCLUSION: It is necessary for a postgraduate students to be aware of prosthetic management of ectodermal dysplasia and some specific conditions so that they will be able to diagnose and treat patients with rare and idiopathic condition better.
