Abstract: Introduction: APECED (Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy) is a rare autosomal recessive disease with significant impacts on oral health, including oral candidiasis and varying degrees of enamel hypoplasia. Objective: To present the oral findings of a girl with APECED and the minimally invasive approach taken in recovery and rehabilitation, taking into account the complexity of her medical condition. Material and methods: A case of a 16-year-old girl with APECED, who visited the dental clinic due to defects of the hard dental tissues and severe dentinal hyperesthesia, is described. There was an underbite with a reduced lower facial floor and enamel hypoplasia in the coronal and middle third of the anterior teeth and first molars. Results: Through direct composite restorations and a minimally invasive approach, a good healing, functional and aesthetic result was achieved.
