Report of a Case
A 32-year-old Caucasian female presented to the Oral and Maxillofacial Department with a 13-year history of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the craniofacial skeleton, associated with precocious puberty and café au lait skin pigmentation of her trunk (McCune-Albright syndrome). The lesions were thought to have been quiescent for approximately 3 years. She had previously undergone, at another hospital, several recontouring procedures to her jaws to improve the facial asymmetry and teeth
Discussion
Dental implants have long been used to rehabilitate edentulous and partially edentulous jaws with good long term success.1, 2 The success of an implant-retained prosthesis is dependent on a variety of factors, which include the site and native characteristics of the bone receiving the implant and the length of the implant.3, 4 Osseointegration depends on a firm and direct anchorage of the implant to the surrounding bone. This has been documented to occur in normal bone and is the basis for the
