A vital root submersion procedure was performed in a rare case of Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS). Although the etiology and pathogenesis are obscure, possible host genetic defects and known or unknown periodontal pathogens may play important roles in the progression of PLS. Since this patient did not respond to conventional periodontal therapy, a submersion procedure was employed to maintain the alveolar ridge and resulted in controlling the progression of the patient's severe periodontitis. The following is a report of the treatment and the rationale for therapy.
对一例罕见的帕皮永-勒费夫尔综合征（PLS）患者实施了重要的牙根埋没术。尽管其病因和发病机制尚不清楚，但可能的宿主基因缺陷以及已知或未知的牙周病原体可能在PLS的进展中起重要作用。由于该患者对传统牙周治疗无反应，故采用埋没术来维持牙槽嵴，并控制了患者重度牙周炎的进展。以下是该治疗及治疗原理的报告。
