A series of clinical photographs of our cicatricial pemphigoid case and the architecture of the tele-healthcare model for this case. (A) Clinical photograph taken by the clinic dentist revealing a freshly broken blister on the labial gingiva of the teeth 12 and 13. (B) Clinical photograph taken by the clinic dentist showing the freshly broken blisters on the buccal gingiva of the teeth 34 and 35. (C) Clinical photograph taken by the patient demonstrating a blister on the right lower retromolar pad. (D) Clinical photograph taken by the patient exhibiting one blister on the buccal gingiva of the tooth 46 and the other blister on the lingual gingiva of the tooth 45. (E) The architecture of the tele-healthcare model indicating 5 actions among the patient, the clinic dentist, and the hospital oral pathology specialist (OPS). Action 1: The patient used the mobile phone to record the initial appearance of her oral mucosal disease and provide them to the clinic dentist. Action 2: The clinic dentist collected the patient's clinical information including the present illness and photographs of oral mucosal lesions, and transmitted them to the hospital OPS via a mobile phone. Action 3: The hospital OPS interpreted the disease process and sent the results of the initial assessment and recommendations back to the clinic dentist through a mobile phone. Action 4: The clinic dentist informed the patient the results of initial assessment and recommendations via a mobile phone and further issued a disease referral form to the patient. Action 5: The patient visited the hospital OPS to seek for further examination, diagnosis, and treatment.
