[Prosthetic treatment of edentulous patient with hypohidrotic etcodermal dysplasia: report of one case].

PURPOSE: To explore the prosthetic treatment of edentulous patient with hypohidrotic etcodermal dysplasia, and observe the changes of esthetics, speech and masticatory function, and bilateral TMJ disc with MRI before and after treatment.

METHODS

A complete denture with hypohidrotic etcodermal dysplasia of proband was made. And the changes of bilateral TMJ disc with MRI before and after prosthetic treatment were viewed.

RESULTS
