Clinical considerations for prosthodontic rehabilitation of intermediate form of osteopetrosis: A report of two cases

Abstract: Introduction: Osteopetrosis is a rare autosomal hereditary disorder characterized by abnormal functioning of osteoclasts, which leads to delayed wound healing. Hence chances of infection are increased even after minor surgical procedures. This paper aims to describe clinical features, and prosthodontic management of two patients who presented with clinical features of intermediate form of osteopetrosis and missing teeth.

“…The maxillary ramp stabilizes the prosthesis, limits the mandibular deviation and provides a broad occlusal table for ease in mastication [8,9]. If implants are not practical, removable MGFP/MRP are advisable where the mandible can be manipulated to correct the deviation followed by definitive prosthesis [20,21,28,29,32,34,37,41,[53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. In individuals where mandibular deviation correction was not possible manually as mostly seen following radiotherapy and scar formation, a twin occlusion (palatal row for occlusion and buccal row for cheek support) has proved to be beneficial in achieving mastication and aesthetics [11,14,15,17,19].…”
