Abstract

Eight cases of mucopolysaccharidosis Type VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome) are reviewed and two cases are presented in detail. Developmental dental anomalies including unerupted and impacted permanent teeth and associated hyperplastic tooth follicles are seen frequently in MPS patients. The surgical implications and management are discussed. All patients reviewed had significant cardiovalvular disease. It is essential for the primary medical provider to establish early basic dental care and evaluation for delayed eruption of primary and permanent dentition. This will probably minimize the possibility of infective endocarditis and allow for early treatment of impacted teeth.

    Common clinical phenotypes include coarse face, macrocephaly, short stature, corneal clouding, recurrent otitis media, recurrent sinusitis, enlarged tongue, abnormal teeth, sleep apnea, recurrent pulmonary infections, valvular disease, hepatosplenomegaly, umbilical and inguinal hernias, dysostosis multiplex and cervical spinal cord compression. These patients do not have cognitive impairment (Miller and Partridge, 1983; Smith et al., 1995; Vougioukas et al., 2001; Choy et al., 2015). Patients with fast progressing form of the disease represent skeletal abnormalities, joint stiffness and deformities, short stature with reduced growth rate, cardiovascular symptoms, and recurrent upper airway obstructions and infections during the first few years of life (Vairo et al., 2015; Harmatz and Shediac, 2017).

    It is essential to ensure that the eruptive pathway is clear and free of obstructions. Other conditions with cyst development and failure of tooth eruption, such as the mucopolysaccharidoses (OMIM #309900) with severe growth inhibition and medical issues, might be best managed by no treatment depending on the individual’s medical status.35 Physical blockage of tooth eruption by excessive soft tissue or supernumerary teeth will require the orthodontist to work with the oral surgeon, periodontist, or primary care dentist to remove the obstruction.

    Although the exfoliation of deciduous teeth is essential for permanent teeth proper eruption, there are no studies that specify a relationship between the delay in deciduous teeth exfoliation and MPS. Some have reported delayed eruption of the permanent dentition associated with MPS.14,16,19 Teeth impaction was observed in 71.4% of MPS VI patients, 50% of MPS IV patients, and in the MPS I subject.
