Cephalometric findings in patients with Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome.
[papillon-lefèvre syndrome]
Literature
regarding
oral
conditions
in
patients
with
Papillon-
Lefèvre
syndrome
(
PLS
)
often
covers
the
periodontal
aspects
,
but
no
literature
was
found
describing
specific
craniofacial
findings
in
this
group
.
The
aim
of
this
retrospective
study
was
to
investigate
the
cephalometric
findings
of
patients
with
PLS
.
Lateral
cephalograms
of
8
patients
with
PLS
were
traced
,
and
hard-
and
soft
-tissue
variables
were
analyzed
.
Class
III
skeletal
relationship
was
evident
(

.
Other
findings
include
maxillary
retrognathia
,
decreased
lower
facial
height
,
retroclined
mandibular
incisors
,
and
upper
lip
retrusion
.
Patients
affected
with
PLS
have
a
Class
III
skeletal
pattern
.
These
findings
can
be
of
clinical
value
not
only
for
diagnosis
,
but
also
for
proper
treatment
planning
.
