Kindler syndrome: a clinical case.
Kindler's syndrome is a congenital disorder with simultaneous clinical characteristics of two congenital diseases: dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and congenital poikiloderma. A review is made of the literature, with the presentation of the case of a 51-year-old woman who after a number of years of implant therapy for oral rehabilitation (total upper and partial lower arch edentulous status) developed xerostomia and a series of whitish and hyperkeratotic lesions associated with other atrophic erythematous lesions lining the entire oral mucosa. The clinical case and treatment are described, with the recommendation to ensure the follow-up of such patients, in order to avoid possible degenerative transformations of the disease, in view of its chronic nature.
