Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a connective tissue disease that has effect on the structure and function of collagen. Collagen is a fibrous protein that is one of the main building structures of connective tissues such as skin, tendon, bone and cartilage. Connective tissue requires all type of collagen to function correctly.
People with EDS may show symptoms such as skin hyperelasticity, joint hypermobility, increased tendency to bruise and abnormal scarring. Dental findings have been reported with some types of EDS. This case report describes the dental findings of a patient (10, c?) who applied to Selçuk University Department of Pediatric Dentistry with dental caries and mobility. According to his medical history he was born at month 7 of the pregnancy. He had a history of easy bruising and scarring after minimal trauma and presented a soft and hyperextensible skin. In addition, he had atrophic paper scars on the face, elbows, knees and shins; hypertelorizm on the face, ecchymosis on the lower legs and generalized joint laxity. Intraoral examination revealed pigmentation at gingival tissues, mobility at mandibular lateral and central incisors and supernumerary teeth in the area of left maxilla. Based on these findings the patient’s profile was consistent with classical type EDS. In this report a case with EDS is presented and also the clinical approach to his dental problems is emphasized.
