Dental implant supported treatment for subjects with ectodermal dysplasia (ED) necessitates a multi-disciplinary approach and presents with high rate of clinical success and with very favourable patient related outcomes1. On the basis of available scientific literature, the youngest child with ED who had received implant supported prosthesis is a three year old2 and the longest follow-up study for successful management of a subject with ED is three decades3. In this case report, we present the case of a five year old boy with ED who recently began the journey of oral rehabilitation through fixed implant supported prosthesis.Key Words : Ectodermal Dysplasia , Anodontia , Dental Implants , Implant Supported Over-denture , Fixed Prosthesis
