Abstract
Ectodermal dysplasia syndrome is a human inheritance syndrome that affects the hair, teeth, and glands. In four cases (case 3 and 4 are brothers) we managed, we met with the parents and examined the whole body and oral problem.

1.Heat resistance is low and body temperature rises easily because there aren't any sweat glands,therefore patients can't play sports or work when it is hot

2.Parents are dissatisfied with their children's appearances. We present that the recovery of chewing and pronouncing functions, taking the implant treatment into account, reduces their uneasiness.

3.From the questionnaire result we found that it is easy for patients to eat bred or noodles but it is difficult for patients to eat meat. Therefore, it is thought that we need to explain appropriate of meals.
