RESUMO
A young woman, known to have glycogen storage disease type 1B (GSD1B) presents with severe periodontitis. GDS1B causes decreased hepatic and renal glucose production and in many cases neutropenia and neutrophil dysfunction leading to recurrent infections. It was decided to treat the patient by extraction of the most affected teeth and retention of the remaining teeth through periodontal treatment, both with antibiotic prophylaxis. After a follow-up period of 1.5 years, during which there was no visible improvement, it was decided to do a full dental extraction and fabricate complete dentures. Due to subsequent bone resorption in both jaws, the dentures were not functional. After consulting the internist and the oral and maxillofacial surgeon, the decision was then made to place dental implants in both the upper and lower jaw for implant-supported prosthetics. After successful treatment and an osseointegration period, the prosthetics were placed. 1 year after placement, there is a stable implantological situation, without pockets or apparent bone loss. The start of SGLT2 medication may have played a significant role in this.
