Panoramic radiographic representation of progressive periodontal destruction in a family with six affected Papillon-Lefèvre siblings.

The panoramic radiographs of six Papillon-Lefèvre affected siblings from one family are evaluated and compared. These six affected siblings range in age from seven to twenty-four years of age. Tooth loss and periodontal disease progression are radiographically documented as these affected siblings age and eventually become endentulous with evident ridge resorption.
