Abstract :
[en] Functional and esthetic oral rehabilitation of young patients affected by ectodermal
dysplasia is traditionally performed with direct composite restorations, which encounter
various limitations. However, recent advances in computer-aided design/computer-assisted
manufacturing (CAD/CAM) composites have led to the introduction of high-performance
materials. In the present case report, a 9-year-old patient was treated with 20 CAD/CAM
partial and peripheral restorations in polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network material to restore
deciduous and permanent teeth. The restorations were minimally invasive, since they did
not require any tooth tissue preparation. Appropriate occlusal relationships with increased
vertical dimension of occlusion were obtained. Tooth anatomy and esthetics were significantly
improved, and chairtime was reduced.
