Prosthetic treatment of adolescents with craniomaxillofacial fibrous dysplasia

Abstract

Craniomaxillofacial fibrous dysplasia may cause structural anomalies in the facial part of the skull, leading to anatomical and functional abnormalities in the stomatognathic system, requiring multi-disciplinary treatment. Depending on the location of dysplastic lesions, stage and course of the disease, each patient presents with a specific picture of the disorder and requires an individual therapeutic approach. Prosthetic treatment of patients at developmental age requires regular check-ups and frequent corrections or replacement of prosthetic restorations. This is particularly important in patients whose prosthetic field is deformed in such disorders as fibrous dysplasia or following numerous surgical procedures. The effectiveness of therapeutic procedures, which in such cases must be multidisciplinary, depends mainly on the commitment and cooperation of the patient and their carers. We present difficulties in the prosthetic rehabilitation of maxillofacial dysplasia based on the example of a patient diagnosed with fibrous dysplasia, severe oligodontia multiorgan congenital malformations, and a history of numerous surgical procedures within the stomatognathic system.
