Most appropriate treatment plan to improve esthetics at this time:

  1. Extract all teeth and place implants immediately
  2. Fabricate complete dentures and extract remaining teeth
  3. Wait until full craniofacial maturity (~late teens/early 20s) before implants
  4. The medical condition has no impact on the dental plan
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. The medical condition has no impact on the dental plan

  • A. Immediate extraction/implants ignores growth considerations and conserving structures.
  • B. Wholesale extraction is overly aggressive in a young patient.
  • C. Delaying implants until growth completes is sound, but the item is keyed to the statement about the condition's relevance.
  • D. Correct (keyed answer in source). Note clinically this is debatable — ectodermal dysplasia DOES influence planning; the keyed option reflects the source's answer.
