The current case report presents a rare clinical case of ectodermal dysplasia for a three years old Libyan child. The child's parents were concerned about the missing dentition for their child at his age, and his malnutrition as consequence of the inability to eat healthy food. Clinical and radiographic examinations were carried to confirm the diagnosis and to make the proper treatment plan. A prosthodontic treatment offered to the child and he kept under observation.

Key-words:
