Esthetic overdenture for a patient with possible Seckel syndrome.

This is a case report of a 21-year-old with possible Seckel syndrome (bird-headed dwarfism), micrognathia, microdontia, severe bony undercuts, and periodontal disease who sought treatment at a university dental clinic. Treatment included extractions, periodontal therapy, retention of premolars with sealants, and overdentures with resilient soft liners. A limited review of Seckel syndrome literature is included. The modification of existing dental materials and procedures required for successful functional and esthetic results are discussed.
