Treatment of patient with Papillon-Lefevre syndrome with short dental implants: a case report.
[papillon-lefèvre syndrome]
Papillon-
Lefevre
syndrome
(
PLS
)
is
an
autosomal
recessive
disorder
.
Main
features
of
PLS
are
hyperkeratosis
of
palms
and
soles
concomitant
with
premature
loss
of
primary
and
permanent
dentition
due
to
progressive
periodontitis
.
Dental
management
of
patients
with
PLS
is
usually
challenging
because
of
early
excessive
loss
of
alveolar
bone
support
.
We
describe
dental
rehabilitation
of
a
34
-
year
-old
patient
with
PLS
with
severely
atrophic
mandible
by
means
of
2
short
(
6
mm
)
dental
implants
between
2
mental
foramina
supporting
an
implant
retained
complete
denture
.
After
1
year
of
follow-up
period
,
the
patient
was
doing
well
and
there
was
no
sign
of
bone
resorption
.
In
patients
with
PLS
,
dental
osseointegrated
implants
(
even
with
shorter
lengths
)
can
be
safely
used
for
atrophic
mandibles
instead
of
invasive
preprosthetic
applications
such
as
bone
augmentation
,
nerve
lateralization
,
or
alveolar
distraction
to
avoid
possible
complications
.
