  • Title: Periodontal and alveolar bone abnormalities associated with pachydermoperiostosis.
    Author: Akdeniz BG, Seçkin T.
    Journal: Periodontal Clin Investig; 2001; 23(1):5-10. PubMed ID: 11575112.
    Abstract:
    Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) is an unusual syndrome manifested clinically by finger clubbing, extremity enlargement, hypertrophic skin changes, and periosteal bone formation. A rare case of pachydermoperiostosis (primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy) with oral manifestations in a 47-year-old man is presented. The possible correlation between physiological mechanisms of this disease and their influence on oral periodontal tissues and alveolar bone is discussed.
