Stomatological management and implant‐supported rehabilitation in a patient with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa

Inherited epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a disease that causes epithelium fragility due to a protein anomaly caused by a genetic mutation. Epidermolysis bullosa clinical manifestations are bullae and cutaneous‐mucosal erosions. Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare disease, with different clinical presenta...

Sumario:Inherited epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a disease that causes epithelium fragility due to a protein anomaly caused by a genetic mutation. Epidermolysis bullosa clinical manifestations are bullae and cutaneous‐mucosal erosions. Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare disease, with different clinical presentations depending on the type and subtype. The stomatological treatment depends on the oral manifestations and EB types. There is no high level of recommendations due to the limited cases described in the literature. We describe an implant‐supported dento‐maxillary rehabilitation of a 49‐year‐old patient suffering from a newly diagnosed hereditary recessive EB with disabling oral manifestations. In the current case, the diagnosis of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa has been confirmed, and adequate dental care was carried out taking into account the disease constraints.
