Pattern of permanent teeth present in individuals with ectodermal dysplasia and severe hypodontia suggests treatment with dental implants.

Abstract

Results support previous findings that the maxillary central incisors, maxillary first molars, mandibular first molars, and maxillary canines are the most conserved teeth in hypodontia. Successful use of osseointegrated implants in the anterior mandibles of most of these patients suggests that habilitation of the mandible with dental implant-supported prostheses is a reasonable option.
