Popis:	Osteopetrosis (marble bone disease) is a family of rare genetic disorders characterized by impaired osteoclast function leading to hyperdense, hypovascular, brittle bone. Typical imaging shows increased bone mass and thickened cortical and trabecular bone. Bones are more prone to fracture and osteomyelitis may develop. When considering dental implant placement in a patient with osteopetrosis, the potential for bony fracture and/or osteomyelitis should be considered along with the decreased likelihood of successful osseointegration because of hypovascularity. This clinical report describes an unusual imaging presentation and successful osseointegration of multiple dental implants supporting an implant-supported fixed mandibular prosthesis with long-term survival.
