Case report highlights dental challenges and systemic considerations in managing mucopolysaccharidosis in children.
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a set of metabolic illnesses characterized by abnormalities in lysosomal enzyme function that result in the buildup of glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides). Reporting a case of mucopolysaccharidosis in a 6-year-old child is the goal of this investigation with the oral manifestation and challenges that need to be addressed in the treatment. The involvement of several body organs necessitates consideration in dentistry for these patients. Treating these patients safely and effectively might be facilitated by the dentist\'s understanding of their oral-dental and systemic issues.
