Abstract

Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS), first described in 1924, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early onset palmoplanter hyperkeratosis and severe generalized destructive periodontitis leading to premature loss of both primary and permanent dentitions. PLS usually manifest itself between the ages of six months to four years, coinciding with the eruption of primary teeth. The proband becomes completely edentulous by the age of 15.
