Abstract
Papillon–Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is a extreme rare of autosomal recessive inheritance characterized by disorder of keratinization, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, progressive destructive periodontal and early loss of both deciduous and permanent dentitions.Genetic studies of patients with Papillon-Lefevre syndrome revealed mutation and loss of function of the cathepsin C gene. Because of the autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, the parents and siblings, typically are not affected cause of heterozygous for cathepsin C mutations; consanguinity is noted in approximately one third of cases . An early diagnosis of the PLS can help preserve the teeth and improves the quality life of patients . The purpose of this report was to describe the case of an 18-year-old girl with the chief complaint of sever mobility of teeth and halitosis.
