Vladimir Kokovic*,Milan Petrovic,Vojkan Lazic,Serbia Todorovic,Drago Jelovac

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also known as von Recklinghausen’s disease, is a human genetic disorder. It is probably the most commonly inherited disorder caused by a single gene.
This is a report of a 57-year-old man affected by NF1 who has severe atrophy of the jaws and extremely unsatisfactory anatomical conditions for conventional dental restauration. Radiographic and clinical evaluations showed inadequate quantity of bone for immediate implant rehabilitation. Delayed implant protocol was performed to obtain the correct bone volume and implants were inserted in the anterior parts of both jaws to support a prosthetic restoration.
