Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid โ It is characterized by the formation of subepithelial blisters due to the attack of autoantibodies targeting adhesion proteins in the basement membrane zone. โ These proteins include BP180 (collagen type XVII) and laminin-332, which are essential for the integrity of the dermoepidermal junction. โ In two-thirds of cases, when the oral cavity is affected, lesions are confined to the gingiva but may also appear diffusely throughout the oral mucosa. โ This gingival pattern of involvement is known as desquamative gingivitis, which can also be observed in other vesiculobullous conditions. What are the differential diagnoses for this case? #case_study ๐๐ฆทโจ @dental_case_study ๐ฌ @dent_tech_for_u ๐
