Abstract

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) represents a group of genetically determined disorders characterized by development of blisters after minimal mechanical trauma or friction of the skin or mucosa with multiple oral manifestations. In the following we presented oral manifestations and therapy of two case reports with EB. Firstly we describe a 24 years-old caucasian female with diagnosis of epidermolysis bullosa, presence of vesiculobullous lesions on the hands and oral cavity. Secondly a 55 years-old caucasian female with diagnosis of epidermolysis bullosa, presence of vesiculobullous lesions on the body and oral papilloma. In conclusion patients with Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) can and should receive dental care, independent of the EB subtype, and prevention programs and oral diagnosis have a great effectiveness.
