Treatment
There is no specific treatment for the bone problems. An oral surgeon should monitor teeth regularly. An otologist should check for hearing problems.
Prognosis (Expectations)
The bone symptoms usually cause few problems. Appropriate dental care is important.
Complications
Complications include dental problems and shoulder dislocations.
