About Sutton Disease II

What is Sutton Disease II?

Sutton Disease II is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of the bones and teeth. It is caused by a mutation in the gene that codes for the enzyme lysyl oxidase, which is involved in the formation of collagen and elastin. Symptoms of Sutton Disease II include delayed tooth eruption, malformed teeth, and skeletal abnormalities such as scoliosis and short stature.

What are the symptoms of Sutton Disease II?

Symptoms of Sutton Disease II include:

-Painful, red, swollen gums
-Gum recession
-Loose teeth
-Bad breath
-Bleeding gums
-Gum abscesses
-Gum pockets
-Recurring gum infections
-Tooth sensitivity
-Difficulty chewing

What are the causes of Sutton Disease II?

Sutton Disease II is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the gene that codes for the enzyme lysyl oxidase (LOX). This enzyme is responsible for the production of collagen and elastin, which are important components of connective tissue. Without the enzyme, the body is unable to produce these proteins, leading to the development of Sutton Disease II.

What are the treatments for Sutton Disease II?

The primary treatment for Sutton Disease II is orthodontic treatment. This may include braces, retainers, or other orthodontic appliances to help correct the malocclusion. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct the underlying bone structure. Other treatments may include the use of fluoride to help strengthen the teeth, and the use of sealants to protect the teeth from further decay.
