Oral rehabilitation of the patients with HED is challenging because of absence of teeth and poor availability of bone. This article reports placement of 2 implants in mandible of 18 year male patient with HED. The fully functional prosthesis was given after 4 months. The result suggests that implants can be successfully restored in these patients.
