Ectodermal dysplasias are conditions that involve structures derived from the ectoderm, such as the epidermis and its enclosures, constituting a large and complex nosologic group, composed of rare entities with genetic etiology (in their majority). Freire-Maia, in 1971 and 1977, proposed a clinical definition and a clinical-mnemonic classification of the ectodermal dysplasias, which are used today by researchers and clinicians throughout the world.
