  • Title: Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa--oral rehabilitation using stereolithography and immediate endosseous implants.
    Author: Oliveira MA, Ortega KL, Martins FM, Maluf PS, Magalhães MG.
    Journal: Spec Care Dentist; 2010; 30(1):23-6. PubMed ID: 20051071.
    Abstract:
    Dental management of patients with epi-dermolysis bullosa (EB) is challenging because of the severe soft tissue lesions associated with this disease. A case history is presented where two immediate endosseous implants were placed in the mandible of a patient with recessive dystrophic EB using computer-aided technology to plan the surgery and prosthetic rehabilitation. After a 24-month follow-up, the prosthesis was stable with healthy asymptomatic soft tissue around the implants. The stereolithographic model provides a precise and noninvasive copy of the mandibular and maxillary arches of patients with EB for rehabilitation of the dentition with immediate endosseous implants and a prosthesis.
