Abstrakt: Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) comprises a group of metabolic diseases with a disorder in the function of lysosomal enzymes that lead to the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides) (Kubaski et al. in Diagnostics 10:161, 2020; Hampe et al. in Cells 9:1838, 2020; Tomatsu et al. Mol Genet Metab 110(1-2):42-53, 2013). At least seven variants of this disorder have been identified to date (Muenzer et al. in Pediatrics 124(6):e1228-e1239, 2009; Muenzer et al. in Eur J Pediatr 171:181-8, 2012). this study aims to report a case of mucopolysaccharidosis in a 9-year-old child. Also, the treatments and dental observations made for the child have been described. Also, a review of past articles has been done to report the types of diseases, medical and dental considerations, etc. of this disease.
Case Description: the present case report describes the orofacial and systemic characteristics, diagnostic methods, and dental management of a 9-year-old boy with MPS with a one-year follow-up in association with a brief review of past articles.
Conclusion: Since MPS patients have many changes in their oral and dental structures, they pose many challenges for dentists. Also, these patients need considerations in dentistry due to the involvement of different body organs. Knowing the oral-dental and systemic problems of these patients can help their dentists to provide effective and safe treatment for them.
