Prosthetic Rehabilitation of a Patient with Apert Syndrome: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Apert syndrome is a rare, congenital, developmental disorder characterized by craniosynostosis, cone shaped calvarium, midface hypoplasia, ocular manifestations and symmetric syndactyly of hands and feet. These incapacities emphasize the imperative of multidisciplinary approaches, considered invariably at a very early stage including pedodontic and orthodontic management. A prosthetic management of the condition is arguably more economical than complex surgical treatments when the patient’s demand is more on esthetic correction, especially in the advanced stage. The present case study is a detailed report of the treatment of a patient diagnosed with Apert syndrome distinguished with a deformity in the upper anterior region using removable prostheses.
