Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of rare epithelial disorders caused by abnormal or absent structural proteins at the epidermal-dermal junction. As a result, patients experience blisters and wounds from mild shearing forces. Some forms of EB are complicated by resultant scarring and contractures. The perioperative anesthetic management of patients with EB is complex and requires a systems-based approach to limit harm. We reviewed our experience with providing general anesthesia to patients at our tertiary EB referral center, including adverse events related to anesthetic care, outcomes in the immediate perioperative period, and details of anesthetic management. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all patients with EB anesthetized at the Children's Hospital Colorado between January 2011 and December 2016. A subset of pediatric anesthesiologists cared for all patients using a standardized clinical care pathway. Patient demographics, detailed anesthetic methods, immediate perioperative outcomes, and adverse events were characterized. RESULTS Over a 6-year period, 37 patients underwent 202 general anesthetics. Most patients (75.7%) had dystrophic EB (DEB). Female patients comprised 48.6%. The majority (56.7%) traveled >50 miles to receive care, and many (35.1%) traveled >150 miles for their care. Common adaptations to care included avoidance of electrocardiogram leads (88.6%) and temperature probes (91.6%). Nasal fiberoptic intubation (n = 160) was performed, or natural airway/mask (n = 27) was maintained for most patients. Supraglottic devices were not used for airway management during any of the anesthetics. Anesthesia preparation time was longer (average 25.8 minutes [standard deviation {SD} = 12.7]) than our average institutional time (14 minutes). Succinylcholine was never used, and nondepolarizing muscle relaxants were used in only 1.5% of patient encounters. Blood was transfused in 16.3% of cases and iron infused in 24.8%. Average length of stay in the postanesthesia care unit was comparable to our institutional average (average 40.1 [SD = 28.6] vs 39 minutes). New skin or mucosal injury occurred in 8 encounters (4%), and desaturation occurred in 43 cases (21.3%). There were no major adverse events. CONCLUSIONS By using a specialized team and a standardized clinical care pathway, our institution was able to minimize adverse events caused by the anesthetic and surgical care of patients with EB. We recommend natural airway or nasal fiberoptic airway management, meticulous avoidance of shear stress on the skin, and a multidisciplinary approach to care. Supportive therapy such as perioperative blood transfusions and iron infusions are feasible for the treatment of chronic anemia in this population.

Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of rare, inherited diseases characterized by skin fragility and multiorgan system involvement that presents many anesthetic challenges. Although the literature regarding anesthetic management focuses primarily on the pediatric population, as life expectancy improves, adult patients with EB are more frequently undergoing anesthesia in nonpediatric hospital settings. Safe anesthetic management of adult patients with EB requires familiarity with the complex and heterogeneous nature of this disease, especially with regard to complications that may worsen during adulthood. General, neuraxial, and regional anesthetics have all been used safely in patients with EB. A thorough preoperative evaluation is essential. Preoperative testing should be guided by EB subtype, clinical manifestations, and extracutaneous complications. Advanced planning and multidisciplinary coordination are necessary with regard to timing and operative plan. Meticulous preparation of the operating room and education of all perioperative staff members is critical. Intraoperatively, utmost care must be taken to avoid all adhesives, shear forces, and friction to the skin and mucosa. Special precautions must be taken with patient positioning, and standard anesthesia monitors must be modified. Airway management is often difficult, and progressive airway deterioration can occur in adults with EB over time. A smooth induction, emergence, and postoperative course are necessary to minimize blister formation from excess patient movement. With careful planning, preparation, and precautions, adult patients with EB can safely undergo anesthesia.

Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa is a congenital genetic disease that causes blistering and erosion of the skin and mucosa. The main known forms include simple, junction, dystrophic and mixed subtypes. This case report presents the endodontic management and 1-year follow-up of a 27-year-old female patient with epidermolysis bullosa who was referred to the Faculty of Dentistry, Kırıkkale University, Turkey. An extraoral examination showed that the patient had multiple scars and blisters. The intraoral examination revealed ankyloglossia, microstomia, shallow buccal and vestibular sulci, enamel hypoplasia, gingival inflammation, mouth ulcers, symptomatic and asymptomatic deep caries, a tooth with an apical lesion and a tooth with pulpitis. The dental treatment was divided into four stages: (i) oral hygiene motivation and elimination of gingival bleeding, (ii) restorative and/or endodontic procedures, (iii) extractions and prosthetic treatments and (iv) recall appointments. A 1-year follow-up radiographic examination of the periapical status of the root canal treatments was clear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inherited epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a genetic disorder characterized by skin fragility and unique oral features. AIMS To provide (a) a complete review of the oral manifestations in those living with each type of inherited EB, (b) the current best practices for managing oral health care of people living with EB, (c) the current best practices on dental implant-based oral rehabilitation for patients with recessive dystrophic EB (RDEB), and (d) the current best practice for managing local anesthesia, principles of sedation, and general anesthesia for children and adults with EB undergoing dental treatment. METHODS Systematic literature search, panel discussion including clinical experts and patient representatives from different centers around the world, external review, and guideline piloting. RESULTS This article has been divided into five chapters: (i) general information on EB for the oral health care professional, (ii) systematic literature review on the oral manifestations of EB, (iii) oral health care and dental treatment for children and adults living with EB-clinical practice guidelines, (iv) dental implants in patients with RDEB-clinical practice guidelines, and (v) sedation and anesthesia for adults and children with EB undergoing dental treatment-clinical practice guidelines. Each chapter provides recommendations on the management of the different clinical procedures within dental practice, highlighting the importance of patient-clinician partnership, impact on quality of life, and the importance of follow-up appointments. Guidance on the use on nonadhesive wound care products and emollients to reduce friction during patient care is provided. CONCLUSIONS Oral soft and hard tissue manifestations of inherited EB have unique patterns of involvement associated with each subtype of the condition. Understanding each subtype individually will help the professionals plan long-term treatment approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To present early teeth extractions as a treatment option in severe dental crowding in patients with generalized recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). MATERIALS AND METHODS Three patients with generalized RDEB were treated with early teeth extractions to prevent severe dental crowding. RESULTS Two patients had bilateral upper first premolars extraction, and the third patient had permanent maxillary canine extraction. Crowding was avoided, and no further orthodontic treatment was necessary. CONCLUSION Considering the challenges of severe mucosal fragility and microstomia in patients with generalized RDEB, early teeth extractions are a reasonable option as an orthodontic management. This approach reduces the severity of dental crowding as the child gets older and reduces the need for orthodontic appliances. Individual factors such as access to dental care, general health, and oral health have an important impact on the decision-making process. Orthodontic treatment planning should include a multidisciplinary team.

Abstract
Background/Aim. Numerous oral manifestations may occur within dystrophic
epidermolysis bullosa (DEB). Aim of the study was to examine oral and
perioral soft tissues and oral functions in DEB patients over a period of
one year. Methods. Twenty-four patients (1 month to 36 years old), were
clinically examined initially (T0), after 6 months (T6) and after 12 months
(T12). Appearance and localization of perioral and oral bullae and scars,
maximum mouth opening, reduced vestibule depth, absence of lingual papillae
and palatal rugae and restricted tongue movement due to scarring were
monitored. The values of maximum mouth opening at the initial examination
were compared to those measured in healthy control group of the same age.
The age of patients and differences between dominant and recessive subtype
of DEB were analyzed. Results. Average maximum mouth opening was
significantly lower in DEB patients compared to healthy individuals. Oral
and perioral bullae and scars, microstomia, and reduced vestibule depth were
very common, with no statistically significant difference among T0, T6, and
T12. The prevalence of restricted tongue movement due to scarring and the
absence of lingual papillae and palatal rugae increased significantly over
one year. Patients with microstomia, vestibule depth, and restricted tongue
movement due to scarring were significantly older than patients without
these characteristics. Lingual papillae and palatal rugae were more
frequently absent in recessive than in dominant DEB. Conclusion. DEB causes
significant changes in oral and perioral soft tissues and oral functions
impairment.

Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa is a group of rare genetic disorders characterised by skin and mucous membrane fragility and systemic manifestations of variable severity. We report a case of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa in an 18-year-old male patient who presented to the Department of Oral Health at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman, in 2015 with recurrent dental pain and infections. Due to the poor dental status of the patient and anticipated operative difficulties due to microstomia and limited mouth opening, the patient underwent full dental clearance under general anaesthesia. This article discusses the dental and anaesthetic challenges encountered during the management of this patient and provides a brief literature review.

Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa comprises a group of uncommon skin-related diseases, characterized by the formation of blisters on mucocutaneous regions occurring spontaneously, following a trauma, exposure to heat, or as a result of minimal mechanical trauma. The dental treatment of the patient with epidermolysis bullosa raises many questions and discussions, due to the difficulty of carrying out the procedures. This report aimed to detail the clinical considerations of the treatment under general anesthesia of a patient with epidermolysis bullosa. The extraction of all deciduous teeth under general anesthesia was recommended based on the clinical and radiographic examinations. At 24-month follow-up, the patient had great improvement in oral hygiene without new caries lesions. The patient has been followed-up at every month for caries lesion prevention and permanent tooth development. The treatment under general anesthesia provided the ideal safe conditions and was beneficial for the patient.

Abstract
Aim. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Er:YAG laser used for treating hard dental tissue in patients with epidermolysis bullosa (EB). Methods. We report two cases of EB in which an Er:YAG laser was used for conservative treatments. In the first case, the Er:YAG laser (2,940 μm, 265 mJ, 25 Hz) was used to treat caries on a deciduous maxillary canine in an 8-year-old male patient affected by dystrophic EB. In the second case, we treated a 26-year-old female patient, affected by junctional EB, with generalized enamel hypoplasia, and an Er:YAG laser (2,940 μm, 265 mJ, 25 Hz) was used to remove the damaged enamel on maxillary incisors. Results. The use of the Er:YAG laser, with the appropriate energy, was effective in the selective removal of carious tissue and enamel hypoplasia. During dental treatment with the Er:YAG laser, patients required only a few interruptions due to the absence of pain, vibration, and noise. Conclusions. Laser treatment of hard dental tissues is a valuable choice for patients affected by EB since it is less invasive compared to conventional treatment, resulting in improved patient compliance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide the users with information on the current best practices for managing the oral health care of people living with EB. METHODS A systematic literature search, in which the main topic is dental care in patients with Epidermolysis Bullosa, was performed. Consulted sources, ranging from 1970 to 2010, included MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, The Cochrane Library, DARE, and the Cochrane controlled trials register (CENTRAL). In order to formulate the recommendations of the selected studies the SIGN system was used. The first draft was analysed and discussed by clinical experts, methodologists and patients representatives on a two days consensus meeting. The resulting document went through an external review process by a panel of experts, other health care professionals, patient representatives and lay reviewers. The final document was piloted in three different centres in United Kingdom, Czech Republic and Argentina. RESULTS The guideline is composed of 93 recommendations divided into 3 main areas: 1) Oral Care--access issues, early referral, preventative strategies, management of microstomia, prescriptions and review appointments 2) Dental treatment: general treatment modifications, radiographs, restorations, endodontics, oral rehabilitation, periodontal treatment, oral surgery and orthodontics, and 3) Anaesthetic management of dental treatment. CONCLUSIONS A preventive protocol is today's dental management approach of choice.

Abstract
Ichthyoses are a heterogenous group of hereditary keratinization disorders that share in common the accumulation & shedding of large amounts of hyperkeratotic epidermis. Early reports of ichthyosis in the Indian and Chinese literature date back to several hundred years. X-linked recessive ichthyosis (XLI) is a common disorder of keratinization and affects males who inherit an X-chromosome having a steroid sulphatase genetic mutation. In the present communication we report a case of XLI and dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa in the same patient. To the best of our knowledge it has been reported only once before.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a skin disease characterized by epithelial fragility that leads to blistering and erosion of the skin and mucosae. The authors conducted a literature review to provide an update on oral manifestations and dental care of patients with EB. Literature Search. The authors reviewed the dental literature on EB in relation to clinical findings and provision of dental care. They searched textbooks and three databases: MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Embase. The authors did not impose any date or publication status restrictions. They searched all databases up to August 2010. RESULTS The literature review revealed that four major groups and 32 subtypes of EB can be distinguished on the basis of the ultrastructural characteristics of skin cleavage, genetic mode of transmission and clinical phenotype. Oral manifestations differ in frequency and severity according to the disease subtype, but the most common are bullae, which leave painful ulcers on rupture, followed by scarring and tissue contraction. Although good oral health status is essential to maintaining oral function, dental treatment can induce new lesions and be hindered by the sequelae of existing lesions. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Dental treatment in patients with EB requires a multidisciplinary approach. Dental procedures must be minimally traumatic, and the effectiveness of treatment is determined mainly by the patient's general health, cooperation in the dental office and at home, oral hygiene and diet.

Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a heterogeneous group of rare genetic disorders characterized by marked fragility of the skin and mucous membranes in which vesiculobullous lesions occur in response to trauma, heat or no apparent cause. The recessive form of EB presents the greatest oral alterations including repeated blistering and scar formation leading to limited oral opening, ankyloglossia, tongue denudation, microstomia, vestibule obliteration and predisposition to oral carcinoma. Routine dental care may cause bullae formation on the lips and oral mucosa. Together with the ingestion of soft and frequently carbohydrate food, these anomalies lead to a high caries risk. This paper documents a case of a child diagnosed with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB); describes the phases and difficulties of dental treatment and the measures that dentists and health care providers should adopt in order to provide a safe and effective dental treatment as well as earlier prevention to these patients.
