Oral rehabilitation of a case of Papillon-Lefevre syndrome with dental implants.

[papillon-lefèvre syndrome]

Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma and precocious aggressively progressing periodontitis, leading to the premature loss of deciduous and permanent teeth. Full mouth rehabilitation with implant supported fixed prosthesis provides numerous advantages over the conventional denture in terms of esthetics, function, longevity of the prosthesis, and patient satisfaction. We report a case of PLS in a 19-year-old female who underwent extraction of all the teeth followed by full mouth rehabilitation with implant supported fixed prostheses. A one-year follow up of the case showed functionally and esthetically stable dental implant with no signs of infection or bone loss.
