  2. Refer to pediatric dentist only
  3. Begin immediate denture fabrication
  4. Orthodontic consultation only
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Refer to pediatric dentist for multidisciplinary treatment

Ectodermal dysplasia requires a multidisciplinary approach involving pediatric dentistry, prosthodontics, orthodontics, and sometimes oral surgery (implants). A multidisciplinary treatment team provides comprehensive, staged care. Simply referring to a pediatric dentist alone is insufficient for the complexity of full dental rehabilitation required in these cases.
