Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a rare congenital disease that affects several ectodermal structures. Children with ED may have various manifestations of the disease that differ in severity. In addition to its other symptoms, ED causes anadontia and hypodontia of the primary or permanent teeth, impacted teeth, malformed and widely spaced peg-shaped teeth, and underdeveloped alveolar ridges. Since the oral rehabilitation of these cases is often difficult, particularly in pediatric patients, treatment should be provided by a multidisciplinary team. Dental implants are the treatment of choice when growth has stabilized, and implants can be used to support, retain, and stabilize the prosthesis. The purpose of this paper was to present a case report of implant placement in a 7-year-old girl with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and review the current literature to discuss the use of dental implants in such patients.

: The nuclear factor (NF)-kB essential modulator (NEMO) has a crucial role in the NFκB pathway. Hypomorphic pathogenic variants cause ectodermal dysplasia with immunodeficiency (EDA-ID) in affected males. However, heterozygous amorphic variants could be responsible for Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP) in female carriers.

Background/objectives: The ectodysplasin A () gene, a member of the tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily, is involved in the early epithelial-mesenchymal interaction that regulates ectoderm-derived appendage formation. Numerous studies have shown that mutations in the gene can cause X-linked ectodermal dysplasia (ED) and non-syndromic oligodontia (NSO). Accordingly, this study aimed to identify the causative genetic mutations of the gene.

Infantile haemangiomas are a common presentation in infants within the first few months of life. The majority of haemangiomas are benign; however, large haemangiomas (≥5 cm), especially those involving the face, may indicate a more serious underlying neurocutaneous disorder known as PHACE (Posterior fossa malformations, Haemangioma, Arterial anomalies, Coarctation of the aorta/Cardiac defects and Eye abnormalities) syndrome. The authors report an unusual case of possible PHACE syndrome in a young male toddler with a large facial haemangioma.

Introduction: Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EVC) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by growth retardation, dysplastic nails, cardiac defects, dental abnormalities, and polydactyly. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management are essential for improving patient outcomes.
Case Report: We present a case of a 12-year-old male with EVC, born to consanguineous parents, who presented with bilateral bowing of the legs and difficulty walking.

: The orthodontic management of pediatric patients with rare diseases, such as Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED) and Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), requires complex protocols due to dental anomalies in both the number and structure of teeth. These conditions necessitate a departure from traditional orthodontic approaches, as skeletal anchoring is often required because of these anomalies. A patient with ED, characterized by hypodontia and malformed teeth, presented with insufficient natural teeth for anchorage.
