- Abstract
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of congenital connective tissue disorders that commonly affect joints, muscles, soft tissue, and blood circulation in the affected population. Many oral manifestations are displayed in EDS patients that can include gingival recession, lack of attached gingiva, early severe periodontal disease, and dental caries. However, the literature is limited and oftentimes contradictory regarding dental implants in EDS patients. The aim of this study is to report two successful cases of implants placed in EDS patients, one treated with bone augmentation and both restored with prosthetic implant rehabilitations.
