Sažetak

Ectodermal dysplasia is a heterogeneous condition characterized by affected ectodermal
structures, among which the teeth and skin with its derivatives (hair, sweat
glands) are the most frequent. The aim of this work is to present the analysis of dental
traits in five families (affected boys and their mothers) with hypohidrotic ectodermal
dysplasia (HED), and to evaluate the importance of orofacial and dental findings in the
determination of female HED gene carriers. Hypodontia (oligodontia) was found in all
the patients. The mothers, gene carriers, had either hypodontia or a reduced size of teeth
with a particular morphological, peg shape. In patients with hypohidrotic ectodermal
dysplasia the deciduous second molar teeth were mostly affected by taurodontism. The
characteristic dental finding in heterozygous females of the mandibular peg shaped incisors
and canines, as well as of hypodontia or peg shaped upper lateral incisors can be
used as a reliable criterion for the detection of HED gene carriers.
