Unlabelled: A nine-year-old girl was presented to the dental clinic at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Jeddah with carious posterior primary teeth and discolored teeth. She was referred to a pediatric geneticist to rule out any medical conditions. She was suspected to have ectodermal dysplasia (ED). DNA testing was requested and sent to Germany to confirm the clinical findings. Afterward, full-mouth rehabilitation was done including prophy and fluoride application, composite restorations, stainless steel crowns, and pulp therapy. The treatment was planned to be carried out under local anesthesia due to the cooperative behavior of the child and the parents' request. Treatment objectives were oriented to achieve esthetic and functional rehabilitation of all carious teeth, maintain occlusion, in addition to maintaining spaces for the missing permanent teeth for future replacement. The patient became caries-free. Oral hygiene was improved which resulted in gingival inflammation resolution. Spaces were maintained and the behavior of the child was improved during recall visits from positive to definitely positive. Multidisciplinary approach in the management of oral and dental manifestations associated with ED including pediatric dentists, prosthodontists, and orthodontists is of paramount importance.

: 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.
