Extractions: What is ectodermal dysplasia? How is ectodermal dysplasia treated? Because there are so many presentations of this disorder, several times a year a special ectodermal dysplasia clinic is arranged at the Center for Craniofacial Anomalies at UCSF. This clinic includes our regular team of specialists plus a dermatologist and a prosthodontist. The special needs of the patient are taken into consideration as a treatment plan is developed which may include recommendations for dentures or implants, special treatment for hair, nails and skin, or recommendations for lifestyle adjustments to maximize comfort and health. A child with ectodermal dysplasia may encounter social and emotional challenges unique to this condition. Support organizations and resources are available for children and their families (see

Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: There are several different types of ectodermal dysplasia of which X-linked anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is the most common. This condition affects only males. An autosomal dominant form exists in which females and males are equally affected and is symptomatically almost identical to the X-linked form of the disease. Multiple genes have been discovered to cause ectodermal dysplasias. Ectodermal dysplasia may affect, to varying degrees, all of the structures associated with the development of the skin. Absent or decreased sweating in people with anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is caused by absence of sweat glands. Affected children have difficulty controlling fevers and mild illness may produce extremely high fevers, because of absent temperature regulation by sweating . Affected adults are unable to tolerate a warm environment and require special measures to maintain a normal body temperature

Ectodermal dysplasia Article number: 2002-110-10 English index Search The aphabetical list This is an excerpt from the database of the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare on rare diseases. The concept of "rare diseases" is defined as: "Disorders resulting in extensive disability whick affect no more than 100 individuals in one million inhabitants". The ambition underlying the database is to provide information to the public, including patients and their families, as well as to health professionals. Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia belongs to the group of diseases known as ectodermal dysplasias. Alternative names for the disorder are anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (EDA I) and Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome.

Extractions: Employment Ectodermal dysplasia (EDS) is a term including several conditions. All these conditions show differences in the formaiton of parts of the body derived from the ectoderm. The ectoderm is one of three tissue layers found in very early embryonic development. It is involved in the formation of several parts of the body including the skin, hair, nails, teeth, mucous membranes, parts of the inner ear and the lens and retina of the eye. Dysplasia is a term which means something did not develop the way it should have. For a condition to be called ectodermal dysplasia at least two parts of the body derived from the embryonic ectoderm need to have not developed in the normal way. There are over 150 types of ectodermal dysplasia. There are several different ways that ectodermal dysplasia can be inherited, X-linked, autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive. The inheritance pattern followed and the parts of the ectoderm affected will depend on which type of ectodermal dysplasia is involved. What are the features of Ectodermal Dysplasia?

Extractions: HED is usually inherited as an X-linked recessive genetic trait; in such cases, the disorder is fully expressed in males only. However, females who carry a single copy of the disease gene (heterozygote carreirs) may exhibit some of the symptoms and findings associated with the disorder. These may include absence and/or malformation of certain teeth, sparse hair, and/or reduced sweating. Researchers also have reported cases in which HED appears to be inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait. In such cases, the disorder is fully expressed in both males and females. Resources

Extractions: Ectrodactyly-Ectodermal Dysplasia-Cleft Lip/Palate (EEC Syndrome) is a rare form of ectodermal dysplasia inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic trait the symptoms of which can vary from mild to severe. The most common symptoms found in patients with EEC Syndrome are: missing or irregular fingers and/or toes (ectrodactyly), abnormalities of the hair and glands, cleft lip and/or palate, or unusual facial features, as well as abnormalities of the eyes and urinary tract.

Extractions: More about Ectodermal Dysplasia CAUSE OF ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA: Ectodermal Dysplasia is caused by a single abnormal gene or pair of abnormal genes. The chance for parents to have an affected child depends on the type of Ectodermal Dysplasia that exists in the family. In some families the mistake in the gene was a fresh mistake (mutation) in their child and the likelihood of another child being affected is very low. There are other families however that have an inherited form of Ectodermal Dysplasia with recurrence risk ranging from 25% to 50%. SWEAT GLANDS: Diminished or absent sweating is a common problem. The sweat glands are absent, reduced in number, or may not function normally. Reduced sweating may result in very high fevers, because the body regulates its temperature by sweating. Often, the first clue that the sweat glands are absent or are not functioning normally is an elevated temperature. Elevations in body temperature are often caused by high environmental temperatures, excessive

Extractions: Congenital Anomalies Congenital Anomalies are a broad category of health conditions that are present at birth and is a deviation from normal anatomic growth, development, or function. The congenital anomaly may have developed in utero or may have genetic origins. Research Program: The Institute for Facial Esthetics, in cooperation with Prosthodontics Intermedica's clinical care center in Fort Washington, is conducting a research program for patients with congenitally missing teeth. This includes, patients with congenital anodontia, ectodermal dysplasia and dentinogenesis imperfecta. More information about this program Anodontia is defined as the failure of teeth to form, completely or partially. Ectodermal Dysplasia: In congenital ectodermal dysplasia, teeth are absent or conical in appearance so that from childhood, partial dentures are needed. Congenital ectodermal dysplasia is the result of an hereditary fault affecting the stage of initiation of various specialized ectodermal structures. It is characterized by one or all of the following: Anodontia - partial or total Absence of sweat or sebaceous glands. The skin is smooth, atrophic and wrinkled. The absence of sweat glands makes the child extremely susceptible to heat prostration since heat regulation by sweating is absent.
