Kenny-Caffey syndrome (KCS) is a rarely reported autosomal disorder characterized by skeletal, ocular, and oral manifestations. Oral features such as microdontia, hypodontia, malalignment of teeth, bone loss, and difficulty in mastication results in serious esthetic and functional handicap. The prosthetic rehabilitation of such patients is challenging, especially when implant placement is not a good choice due to poor Vitamin D levels. The existing literature is scarce in describing the treatment options. This case report describes the oral rehabilitation of a patient affected with KCS using telescopic overdenture.
肯尼-卡菲综合征(KCS)是一种罕见的常染色体疾病,其特征为骨骼、眼部和口腔表现。口腔特征如小牙、缺牙、牙齿排列不齐、骨质流失和咀嚼困难导致严重的美观和功能障碍。对于此类患者的修复治疗具有挑战性,特别是当由于维生素 D 水平低而不适合进行种植体放置时。现有的文献很少描述治疗选择。本病例报告描述了使用套筒冠义齿对 KCS 患者进行口腔修复的情况。
