【 摘 要 】

Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare genetic disease that is characterised by the formation of blisters and erosions on the skin and mucous membranes following minor traction or trauma. Oral manifestations of the disease include obliteration of the vestibule, ankyloglossia, and microstomia. Oral rehabilitation, and prosthetic rehabilitation, in particular, is a challenge. This article describes a simple, inexpensive prosthetic alternative for a partially edentulous patient with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.
