Dental implants have the potential to transform lives, especially for patients suffering from rare conditions like Papillon Lefevre Syndrome (PLS). Let us have a look at the highlights of a patient’s case suffering from PLS and how corticobasal implants turned out to be the key to a life-changing transformation.

Understanding Papillon Lefevre Syndrome (PLS)

Papillon Lefevre Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by severe periodontitis. It leads to early loss of primary and permanent teeth. Patients suffering from this condition often face the following:

• Rapid gum and bone deterioration
• Premature tooth loss of milk teeth and permanent teeth
• Inability to chew food properly, leading to nutritional challenges

Because of these complications, dental rehabilitation is a challenge, particularly in the case of conventional implants.

Why Conventional Implants Are Complicated in PLS Cases?

Traditional implants require sufficient bone density in the jaw for successful integration. Hence, for patients suffering from PLS, the following issues arise:

• PLS patients have severe bone loss in their jaws, making traditional implants impossible.
• PLS patients are more prone to infections, making conventional implantation very risky.
• Since gum health is compromised, healing time is prolonged which leads to complications.
• It is not possible or very difficult to give fixed teeth to a PLS patient.
• Bone grafting is very risky.
• The success of rough-surface conventional implants is not promising.

Hence, traditional implantology is unsuitable for patients suffering from Papillon Lefevre Syndrome (PLS) as it increases complications and hence poses a permanent risk to the patient’s health.

Transforming the Case with Corticobasal Implants

In this case, corticobasal implants offered a revolutionary solution. These implants are uniquely designed to:

• Bypass the requirement for bone grafting
• Use the cortical bone (the strongest part of the jawbone) for stability
• Provide immediate loading, meaning the patient can receive fixed teeth in a short time

With the use of corticobasal implants, the patient suffering from PLS and having severe bone loss was able to regain functional teeth quickly and effectively.

How Corticobasal Implants Have Helped This Patient?

With the successful placement of corticobasal implants, this patient experienced a remarkable transformation:

1. Normal Chewing Ability: The patient regained the ability to chew food normally, along with restoring proper digestion and nutrition.
2. Health Improvement: With complete chewing ability, came the benefit of improved energy levels, elevating overall health and well-being.
3. Implant Integration: With the use of cortical bone, a seamless integration of the implant into the jawbone was achieved, making it a natural part of the body.
4. Functional Life: With fixed teeth, the patient is now able to function like any other individual, performing daily tasks with ease.

The Impact of Chewing on Quality of Life

Perfect chewing capability is very important in ensuring the overall health of an individual. Here are a few differences in the PLS patient’s life with and without implants.

This case demonstrates the life-changing potential of corticobasal implants, particularly for individuals with complicated disorders such as Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome (PLS). Dental implants have altered the patient’s overall health by restoring their ability to chew and live a normal life.
