Dental implants in a patient with left mandibular fibrous dysplasia: Two-year outcomes on the normal and affected sides

Résumé

Dental rehabilitation raises specific challenges in patients with mandibular fibrous dysplasia. We report the 2-year post-operative outcomes on the normal and affected sides in a 64-year-old female with focal left mandibular fibrous dysplasia and bilateral posterior edentulism. On the left, bone shaving of the lesion to restore sufficient vertical height was followed by the insertion of two dental implants. Three dental implants were inserted into the normal bone on the right. Dental prostheses were added 6 months later. Two years after the first procedure, no complications had been recorded and the patient reported similar high satisfaction for both sides. This comparison of outcomes of dental implants inserted into dysplastic versus normal bone in the same patient suggests that dental implants may constitute a valid option for managing edentulism in selected patients with fibrous dysplasia, provided appropriate precautions are taken.
