Implant planning in a case with Sotos Syndrome.

Sotos syndrome it is usually transmitted by autosomal dominant inheritance. It is characterized by overgrowth with advanced bone age, macrocephaly, characteristic facial appearance, and learning difficulties. Mandibular prognathism, agenesis, and high-arched palate are the most common oral findings. The treatment of a 28-year-old man with Sotos syndrome is reported. Patient had many dental absences, both in maxilla and mandible. The growth phase had ended and the study of the morphology and bone availability through a bimaxillary cone beam computed tomography was performed. In all edentulous areas there was adequate bone availability for the placement of implants of standard dimensions. Furthermore, patient presented a marked concavity in the molar area and a position of the dental nerve very close to the mandibular cortical as well. The study described is a clinical case, therefore, new studies would be necessary to establish clinical guidelines.
