Papillon-Lefèvre Syndrome: Case Report of Two Sisters.

UNLABELLED: Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS), also known as keratosis palmoplantaris with periodontopathia and "hyperkeratosis palmoplantaris with periodontosis," is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma and precocious aggressive periodontitis, leading to premature loss of deciduous and permanent dentition at a very young age. The aim of this article is to revisit PLS, address its diagnosis update and dental management, and to provide insight into the fascinating role of consanguinity in the etiology of this unusual illness. We report the case of two Moroccan sisters aged 5 and 8 years old with PLS who consulted the pedodontics department at the CCTD in Rabat, Morocco, for the early loss of teeth.
