Popis: Objective: To study the prevalence of oral lesions in 35 patients diagnosed with generalized recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEBg), with a quantification of their microstomia in comparison with a control group. Material and methods: The presence of oral mucosal lesions and interincisal maximum oral aperture (MOA) was determined, classifying microstomia according to the method of Naylor, Douglass and Mix (1984). Results: Blister lesions were identified in 92% of the patients at the time of exploration – the tongue being the most affected location. Microstomia and palatal atrophy were the most prevalent sequelae (100%), while ankyloglossia, vestibular obliteration and lingual depapillation were recorded in over 90%. In 80% of the patients interincisal MOA was
