Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EVC) is a very rare genetic disorder that affects various tissues of ectodermal and mesodermal origin;\npatients with EVC present with typical oral deficiencies. The affected individuals are quite young at the time of oral evaluation. It\nis, therefore, important that these individuals are diagnosed and receive dental treatment at an early age for their physiologic and\npsychosocial well-being. Albeit there are numerous articles penned on the EVC, the treatise from an oral perspective is inadequate,\ncovering only oral exhibitions and the preventive treatments. This article reviews the literature and serves as the first disquisition\nfor oral rehabilitation of an EVC patient utilizing surgical, orthodontic, restorative, and prosthodontic management.
