title: Epidermolysis bullosa: oral management and case reports.
abstract: The prominent clinical characteristic of this uncommon group of skin disorders, which are acquired or are genetically transmitted, is the development of bullae or vesicles in response to minor mechanical trauma. They can either be skin or mucosal lesions. This paper reports on three cases of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica. The significance of oral management in treating these subjects is discussed.
