“…By the time of school age, children are considered old enough to recognize their esthetic issues and usually show willingness to improve it. Alternative treatment modalities which are suggested including dental implant and implant borne total denture in immature and no cooperative patients [12]. It is usually recommended to postpone the use of Osseointegrated implants for children until complete growth.…”

Background and aim: A relatively common sex-linked dermatitis characterized by a congenital dysplasia of one or more ectodermal structures is Ectodermal dysplasia (ED). Common signs include fragile skin and nails, defective teeth and salivary glands, frontal bossing with prominent supra orbital ridges, nasal bridge depression and protuberant lips. There are often a few conical teeth existing (hypodontia or Oligodontia) that results in generalized spacing. Deciduous and/or the permanent dentition may fail to form (anodontia), and, consequently, hypoplasia of jaws may happen in both cases. This article reports a case of ED and shows how to handle it.

“…The "tent pole" technique has also been applied in ablative defects associated to metastatic mandibular retinoblastoma in pediatric patients (4) and atrophic mandible associated to the ectodermal dysplasia (9), showing also excellent results. Some suggestions have been proposed in the scientific literature to aid the adequate implant angulation placement (9). The suggestion in this article is to optimize the gain of bone volume in the mandibular body, where usually the bone volume is poorer.…”

Use of a Titanium Mesh "Shelter" Combined with the Soft Tissue Matrix Expansion (Tent Pole) Grafting in the Reconstruction of a Severely Resorbed Edentulous Mandible. Technical Note.

Patients wearing complete dentures for a long time usually exhibit lack of bone and keratinized mucosa in the bearing area due to bone resorption. The patients suffering from this phenomenon usually have unstable and non-retentive complete denture, which result in constant trauma to the mucosa, pain, functional limitations and worsening of facial esthetics. An innovative technique has been described in which a novel surgical approach using osseointegrated dental implants as "tent poles" was applied concomitant with particulate autogenous bone graft. The authors claim that the control and maintenance of the surgically expanded soft tissue volume should prevent graft resorption in the long term. Nevertheless, resorption of the bone graft is usually more significant where the bone mass is poorer, in the mandibular body. This paper describes a case of severely resorbed edentulous mandible in which the "tent pole" technique was applied with some modifications. Use of the titanium mesh "shelters" and two additional implants was effective in "protecting" the bone graft in the posterior portion of the mandibular body increasing bone mass volume in this area. Furthermore, we believe that this kind of graft "protection" on the whole residual alveolar ridge can increase the width of bone mass gain optimizing the "tent pole" technique.
