Az epidermolysis bullosa szájüregi tünetei és annak ellátása

Abstract

The aim of this comprehensive article is to provide guidelines for the daily treatment of patients with epidermolysis bullosa, thus contributing to the attainment of their higher quality of life through the improvement of their oral health. Moreover, it is our intention to facilitate the cooperation among Hungarian general practitioners, dermatologists and dentists. Relying on recent research findings of the international literature, we intend to help general practitioners or dermatologists treating epidermolysis bullosa patients on a daily basis by identifying symptoms that require consulting an oral professional on the one hand, and to present the most important prevention strategies and further treatments advised for dentists on the other. Focusing on various aspects of dental treatment, we specify how a dentist can treat the patient without causing additional wounds or pain, and what kinds of therapy are justified by this approach.
