Kohlschutter-Tonz syndrome (KTS) is a rare, genetic condition, which typically manifests as a triad of symptoms: 1) amelogenesis imperfecta, 2) infantile onset epilepsy, and 3) intellectual disability. The condition poses dental treatment challenges given the manifestation of amelogenesis imperfecta. Additional considerations are needed to medically manage these patients who present with epilepsy and intellectual disability.
Our patient presented with multiple restorative needs, was treated under general anesthesia, and maintained good oral outcomes with close follow-up.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report which documents comprehensive dental management of a pediatric patient with KTS.
科尔施特特-通茨综合征(KTS)是一种罕见的遗传性疾病,通常表现为三联征:1)釉质发育不全,2)婴儿期癫痫发作,3)智力障碍。鉴于釉质发育不全的表现,该病症给牙科治疗带来了挑战。对于患有癫痫和智力障碍的患者,需要进行额外的医学管理考虑。
我们的患者有多种修复需求,在全身麻醉下进行治疗,并通过密切随访保持了良好的口腔效果。
据我们所知,这是第一例记录 KTS 儿科患者全面牙科管理的病例报告。
