Treatment is based on the signs and symptoms present in each person. MalaCards based summary : Teeth, Congenital Absence of, with Taurodontia and Sparse Hair, is also known as taurodontia, absent teeth, sparse hair syndrome. [malacards.org]
Treatment is based on the signs and symptoms present in each person. [1] [2] [3] Last updated: 10/13/2016 This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have. For most diseases, symptoms will vary from person to person. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Incisors and canines are often conical-shaped while primarily second molars, if present, are mostly affected by taurodontism. [amsdottorato.unibo.it]
The enamel was present only in some areas of the tooth and absent in some. Generalized attrition was observed on the incisal and occlusal surfaces with open contacts. [ijdr.in]
Bilateral postaxial polydactyly of hands were present (Figure 2a). Hair was sparse especially in the eyebrows (Figure3). The left testis was not fully descended. [omicsonline.org]

Lastly there is consideration of the role of the paediatric dentist in interdisciplinary management of the affected child and adolescent patient. [nature.com]
The dentist must bear in mind the high prevalence of cardiac defects in these patients and implement established procedures for the prevention of bacterial endocarditis when necessary. [omicsonline.org]
A dentist can identify and diagnose the condition by the clinical signs and symptoms supported with a history of causative factor. Radiographs may be used to rule out other conditions of the teeth. [thehealthsite.com]
A team approach that includes input from a pediatric dentist, an orthodontist, a prosthodontist, and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon is necessary for a successful outcome. [amsdottorato.unibo.it]
Dentists while encountering with such patients with oligodontia, a detailed case history, physical examination to rule out syndromic form of oligodontia, and radiographs should be done to diagnose the case. [jioh.org]

Nail Abnormality
Nails: Most people with Ectodermal Dysplasia do not have nail abnormalities, although the nails are frequently dry and rough. [dentalimplants-usa.com]
The clinical manifestations observed were- dry skin(94.74%); scaly skin(42.11%); sparse hair on scalp, eyebrows and eyelashes(100%); frontal bossing(63.18%); saddle nose (57.89%); hypertelorism (47.37%); nail abnormality(52.63%); normal sweat glands(21.05% [jnsbm.org]

Heat Intolerance
The clinical features include sparse, fine hair, missing or conical-shaped teeth, decreased sweat and mucous glands, hypoplastic skin, and heat intolerance with exercise or increased ambient temperature. [amsdottorato.unibo.it]

Physician
In-Depth Information The Monarch Initiative brings together data about this condition from humans and other species to help physicians and biomedical researchers. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Miscellaneous Variable clinical symptoms Cardiac features are observed in 3% of cases Neurologic features have been diagnosed in 30% of cases Diagnosing ODDD Syndrome A physician can diagnose ODD syndrome on the basis of physical features. [nfed.org]
Furthermore, the dentist will play an important role in the integral approach regarding health care needs of the child, in collaboration with the physician and the parents. Good dental health goes far beyond having good teeth. [thefreelibrary.com]

Tooth Loss
In anterior dentition, how does premature tooth loss affect successor eruption? Less than 3 years, delayed. More than 5 years, accelerated. In posterior dentition, how does premature tooth loss affect successor eruption? Less than 7 years, delayed. [brainscape.com]
Emphasis should be placed on dental care aiming at prevention of tooth loss from caries or periodontal disease. During the extraction, elevators should be used with caution so as to protect the adjacent tooth from inadvertent mobilization. [indjos.com]

Sweating
Sweat Glands: Diminished or absent sweating is a common problem. The sweat glands are absent, reduced in number, or may not function normally. Reduced sweating may result in very high fevers, because the body regulates its temperature by sweating. [dentalimplants-usa.com]
