Mini‐implant assisted palate expansion and digital design in junctional epidermolysis bullosa and amelogenesis imperfecta: Case report

Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) is one of the four major types of EB caused by genetic variants in the genes coding the proteins of the lamina lucida. All patients with this major type of EB present syndromic hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), with either a pits and fissures or generalized hypoplastic phenotype. Severe forms of AI are associated with compromised oral health-related quality of life (QoL) mostly due to poor dental aesthetics, dentofacial anomalies, and oral pain.
