ABSTRACT
Importance Kindler epidermolysis bullosa is a genetic skin-blistering disease associated with recessive inherited pathogenic variants in FERMT1, which encodes kindlin-1. Severe orofacial manifestations of Kindler epidermolysis bullosa, including early oral squamous cell carcinoma, have been reported.

Objective:

To determine whether hypoplastic pitted amelogenesis imperfecta is a feature of Kindler epidermolysis bullosa. Design, Settings, and

Participants:

This longitudinal, 2-center cohort study was performed from 2003 to 2023 at the Epidermolysis Bullosa Centre, University of Freiburg, Germany, and the Special Care Dentistry Clinic, University of Chile in association with DEBRA Chile. Participants included a convenience sampling of all patients with a diagnosis of Kindler epidermolysis bullosa. Main Outcomes and

Measures:

The primary outcomes were the presence of hypoplastic pitted amelogenesis imperfecta, intraoral wounds, gingivitis and periodontal disease, gingival hyperplasia, vestibular obliteration, cheilitis, angular cheilitis, chronic lip wounds, microstomia, and oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Results:

The cohort consisted of 36 patients (15 female [42%] and 21 male [58%]; mean age at first examination, 23 years [range, 2 weeks to 70 years]) with Kindler epidermolysis bullosa. The follow-up ranged from 1 to 24 years. The enamel structure was assessed in 11 patients, all of whom presented with enamel structure abnormalities. The severity of hypoplastic pitted amelogenesis imperfecta varied from generalized to localized pitting. Additional orofacial features observed include gingivitis and periodontal disease, which was present in 90% (27 of 30 patients) of those assessed, followed by intraoral lesions (16 of 22 patients [73%]), angular cheilitis (24 of 33 patients [73%]), cheilitis (22 of 34 patients [65%]), gingival overgrowth (17 of 26 patients [65%]), microstomia (14 of 25 patients [56%]), and vestibular obliteration (8 of 16 patients [50%]). Other features included chronic lip ulcers (2 patients) and oral squamous cell carcinoma with lethal outcome (2 patients). Conclusions and Relevance These findings suggest that hypoplastic pitted amelogenesis imperfecta is a feature of Kindler epidermolysis bullosa and underscore the extent and severity of oral manifestations in Kindler epidermolysis bullosa and the need for early and sustained dental care.
