VANZILLOTTA, Paulo Sérgio; PINTO, César Alexandre Ferreira; BRIOTE, Maria Isabel Monteiro e LIMA, Fellipe Silva Lima Cury de Sousa. Combination Syndrome. Rev. Bras. Odontol. [online]. 2012, vol.69, n.2, pp. 199-202. ISSN 1984-3747.
This paper is a literature review of the combination syndrome, first described by Kelly in 1972. This clinical condition affects patients with upper dentures that antagonize Kennedy';s class I arch. It is characterized by intense bone resorption in pre- -maxillary region due to inadequate chewing habits. There are therefore a number of pathologies that complete the syndrome. A correct diagnosis and treatment can prevent or attenuate disease progression. The indication of pre-prosthetic surgery, conventional prostheses or implants will depend on the specific condition of the patient.
