Oral and mandibular manifestations in the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes.

This resource discusses the oral and mandibular manifestations of Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), a group of hereditary connective tissue disorders. The paper highlights the variability of oral and mandibular involvement across different EDS types, including issues with oral soft tissue, teeth, facial pain, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) with general musculoskeletal dysfunction in EDS. The resource reviews the diagnostic features, implications of TMJ and oral hypermobility, and outlines treatment procedures for managing these specific challenges in EDS patients.
