Clinical Findings of Children With Epidermolysis Bullosa: Case Reports of Three Siblings

Abstract

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of inherited bullous
disorders characterized by blistering of the skin and mucosa in
response to trauma. EB patients require special precautions during
dental treatment because of the high risk of lesioning the soft
tissue when handling cutting instruments close to the skin and
oral mucosa In this case report, clinical and oral findings of three
siblings with epidermolysis bullosa, whose parents were relatives,
are presented. The first case was a 5-year-old girl with skin lesions,
microstomia, anklyoglossia and poor oral health. The second case
was a 4-year-old girl having only deformity on her foot fingernail
without any oral tissue involvement. The third case was a 2-yearold
boy with numerous dermal blisters, ankyloglossia and poor
dental status. Oral health of these children was maintained by
improving oral hygiene, preventive measures and regular visits.
