A patient with Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome will show a marked gingivoperiodontal inflammatory condition in the primary teeth at about 1.5 to 2 years of age. It is marked by edema, bleeding, alveolar bone resorption, and mobility of teeth with consequent exfoliation. At about 8 or 9 years of age, the gingivoperiodontal destruction of the permanent dentition is repeated in the same manner as occurred in the primary dentition. All primary teeth are lost before 14 years of age.
