J Prosthet Dent. 2012 Nov;108(5):279-85. doi: 10.1016/S0022-3913(12)60176-0.

Abstract

An 11-year-old patient with a history of oligodontia and hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia had implants placed in the anterior and posterior mandible as part of his prosthetic rehabilitation. The maxilla was restored by using traditional prosthodontic methods. The long-term follow-up of the treatment is presented, and the clinical implications of placing implants in an actively growing child are discussed.
