BACKGROUND: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis is a heterogeneous group of disorders, leading to intrahepatic cholestasis, with the possibility of chronic liver failure and biliary cirrhosis. Oligodontia is either the manifestation of a specific syndrome or is non-syndromic. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of type 3 progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis and concurrent oligodontia, craniosynostosis, dens in dente, taurodontism, and delayed permanent dentition in the medical and dental literature. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the dental and medical histories and comprehensive dental management of a girl with type 3 progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis and several dental anomalies, who was referred to a dental clinic due to severe dental caries and pain. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that PFIC with manifestations as oligodontia, craniosynostosis, dens in dente, taurodontism, and delayed permanent dentition, might indicate an unknown syndrome; otherwise, the craniofacial anomalies are the manifestations of an independent disease coinciding with PFIC. Moreover, our case is a good example of the importance of timely medical and dental care in confining further health-related complications. The patient was able to ingest without any pain or discomfort after receiving proper dental management.
背景:进行性家族性肝内胆汁淤积症是一组异质性疾病,可导致肝内胆汁淤积,有发生慢性肝衰竭和胆汁性肝硬化的可能。少牙症要么是特定综合征的表现,要么是非综合征性的。据我们所知,这是医学和牙科文献中首例报道的 3 型进行性家族性肝内胆汁淤积症合并少牙症、颅缝早闭、牙中牙、尖牙畸形和恒牙萌出延迟。
病例介绍:我们介绍了一名女孩的牙科和医疗病史以及全面的牙科管理,该女孩患有 3 型进行性家族性肝内胆汁淤积症和多种牙科异常,因严重龋齿和疼痛而被转介到牙科诊所。
结论:我们的发现表明,表现为少牙症、颅缝早闭、牙中牙、尖牙畸形和恒牙萌出延迟的 PFIC 可能提示一种未知的综合征;否则,颅面异常是与 PFIC 同时发生的独立疾病的表现。此外,我们的病例很好地说明了及时进行医疗和牙科护理以限制进一步的健康相关并发症的重要性。患者在接受适当的牙科治疗后,能够进食而无任何疼痛或不适。
