Abstract |
A case is reported of dental implant placement in a 13-year-old patient diagnosed with Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome. Two titanium dental implants were placed in the mandible for an implant-retained denture after the patient complained of having an unstable prosthesis. Follow-up radiographs showed successful osseointegration and preservation of alveolar bone 1 year after implant placement and the continual wearing of a functional dental prosthesis.
