Capsule Summary Bruxism and sweat‐induced facial blisters can affect patients with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) quality of life (QoL). We present the outcomes of orofacial BTX‐A infiltrations to treat these conditions. Three patients with severe RDEB, bruxism and microstomia received BTX‐A infiltrations (50U‐100U) in masseters and ...
