Gnathodiaphyseal Dysplasia: Surgical Treatment and Prosthetic Rehabilitation of 2 Members of the Same Family

Gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia (GDD) is a rare hereditary syndrome characterized by cemento-ossifying fibromas of the maxillary bones, fragile bones, curvature and cortical thinning of the tubular bones, and diaphyseal sclerosis of the long bones. In this study, 2 complex clinical cases of 2 members of the same family had GDD and were treated in the authors' odonto-stomatology department. The first was treated with a block bone graft and implant-prosthetic therapy; the other, who had extensive osteomyelitis of the second quadrant, was managed with extraction of the involved teeth, surgical revision of the site, and a graft of autologous platelet concentrate.
