“…In dental occlusion trauma, PDL involvement is usually related to excessive or para-axial biting forces and is generalized or located and associated with angular bone defects and teeth mobility, while in malignancies, PDL space widening is limited to the adjacent teeth and the lamina dura is involved. In contrast, in patients with scleroderma, the lamina dura frequently remains intact and a uniform enlarged PDL space occurs in more than one quadrant, usually in the posterior teeth [11,12,13,15,16,17,18,19].…”

Background: Oral health issues are commonly reported in systemic sclerosis (SSc), comprising a broad spectrum of manifestations, e.g., reduced mouth opening, periodontal disease, increased periodontal ligament (PDL) space width, and mandibular resorption. We aimed to assess oral radiographic abnormalities, particularly PDL space widening and erosions, and to identify potential relations with disease measures. Methods: cross-sectional study in 43 SSc and matching controls receiving systematic oral assessments (full mouth dental/periodontal) and imaging (radiographs and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)). Associations between disease variables and radiologic findings were investigated by univariate and multivariate analysis (SPSS-v.20, p < 0.05). Results: CBCT demonstrated generalized PDL space widening in up to half SSc, with at least one tooth involved, essentially in the posterior region (p < 0.05). Significant correlations between number of teeth with PDL space widening and disease severity, skin score, disease subset, topoisomerase I specificity, age, and disease duration were reported (p < 0.05). Additionally, mandibular erosions were described in one out of four patients, commonly condylar erosions. Conclusions: Tridimensional CBCT approach confirmed widening of PDL and mandibular erosions as common dental findings in scleroderma. Furthermore, widened PDL spaces correlated with several disease characteristics including severity, skin extent, and antibody profile.

“…Two major radiographic features are described in scleroderma, widening of the periodontal ligament (PDL) space [11,12,13,14,15,16,17] and mandibular erosions [12,15,16,17,18,19,20].…”
