Correlation between measured oral health and oral health-related quality of life in people with epidermolysis bullosa: a prospective cohort study
The findings of this study corroborate the challenges faced by patients with EB in the oral domain and the deterioration of their OHRQoL. These results emphasize the necessity for dentists to engage comprehensively in disease management, encompassing routine examinations, preventive dental care and oral hygiene education. Consequently, enhanced communication is required not only between dental and dermatological teams but also with caregivers.
