Leveraging Digital Technology for Treatment of Young Patients with Congenital Conditions: A Clinical Report

Young patients with ectodermal dysplasia and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome present with unique characteristics and corresponding treatment challenges. Congenitally missing teeth or conditions leading to premature tooth loss may be exhibited. Underdeveloped or easily traumatized oral structures are commonly seen and must be rehabilitated with care. These oral features can have a negative impact on the patients' quality of life and may require special considerations during dental treatment. This report follows the initial treatments of a 6-year-old patient with ectodermal dysplasia and a 20-year-old patient with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, with the incorporation of digital technologies in their subsequent oral rehabilitation.
