Moebius/Mӧbius Syndrome (MS) is an extremely rare congenital disorder characterized by uni- or bilateral palsy of the abducens (VI) and the facial (VII) nerves, causing facial paralysis. Dysfunction of cranial nerves III through XII is common, most often the glossopharyngeal (IX) and hypoglossus (XII). Afflicted individuals seeking prosthodontic care, particularly removable prosthetics, present multiple challenges related to inherent facial and tongue muscle weakness and microstomia. Other extraoral anomalies may include congenital multiple arthrogryposis and malformations of the upper and lower limbs. This clinical report describes the rehabilitation of a patient with Moebius Syndrome using a maxillary 2-implant retained overdenture and mandibular partial removable denture prosthesis.
Moebius 综合征（MS）是一种极其罕见的先天性疾病，其特征为单侧或双侧外展神经（VI）和面神经（VII）麻痹，导致面瘫。颅神经 III 至 XII 的功能障碍很常见，最常见的是舌咽神经（IX）和舌下神经（XII）。寻求口腔修复治疗的患者，特别是可摘义齿，存在与固有面肌和舌肌无力以及小口畸形相关的多种挑战。其他口腔外异常可能包括先天性多发性关节挛缩症和上下肢畸形。本临床报告描述了使用上颌 2 个种植体固位覆盖义齿和下颌局部可摘义齿修复体来为 Moebius 综合征患者进行康复治疗。
