The major components of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia include: hypodontia, hypotrichosis, hypohidrosis, lacking of sweat and sebaceous glands, thin hair, soft skin, and a lack of eyelashes and eyebrows. Amelogenesis imperfecta are a group of inherited conditions affecting the enamel of teeth and having no associated systemic defects. The basic defect of osteogenesis imperfecta is produced by poor collagen, which results in abnormally formed bones that fracture easily. Dentin dysplasia typically displays teeth with short roots, lack of pulp chambers, and multiple periapical radiolucencies.
