Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the clinical features of periodontal Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (pEDS) in children, focusing on its genetic and oral manifestations.
- Nineteen children with a parent diagnosed with pEDS were examined, revealing that the characteristic lack of attached gingiva was consistently present in affected individuals, correlating with inherited genetic variants.
- The findings emphasize the importance of early diagnosis of pEDS to improve dental hygiene and prevent early tooth loss in affected children.
