“…Serum antibody levels to periodontopathogens were significantly higher in Sjögren syndrome patients than in control subjects (25). A case-control study suggested a possible correlation between periodontal disease and Sjögren syndrome, as capillary alterations in gingival microcirculation were observed in patients with Sjögren syndrome (27). Plaque accumulation associated with low salivary flow rate might affect gingival inflammation and blood circulation.…”

This study examined the relationship between stimulated salivary flow rate and oral health status in an adult population. Multinomial multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to examine the associations of salivary flow rate with dental caries status and periodontal status at the individual level among 2,110 Japanese adults with ≥10 teeth. Then, a spline model was used to examine the nonlinear relationship between salivary flow rate and teeth with dental caries or periodontal disease in multilevel analysis. Odds ratios were calculated for a 1.0-mL/min reduction in salivary flow rate at a point. After adjusting for confounding variables, participants with a flow rate ≤3.5 mL/min had significantly higher odds ratios for high caries status, and participants with a flow rate ≤1.4 mL/min had a higher odds ratio for broad periodontal disease, than did those with a flow rate >3.5 mL/min. In spline models, the odds ratio for teeth with dental caries or periodontal disease increased with reduced saliva secretion. The present findings suggest that decreased saliva secretion affects both dental caries and general periodontal health status.

“…Sjögren syndrome seemed to negatively affect the periodontal condition because gingival inflammation is more evident in the individuals with Sjögren syndrome particularly those with secondary Sjögren syndrome [21]. According to Scardina, periodontal disease can be caused by capillary alterations especially in gingival microcirculation [22]. A likely effect of anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and glucocorticoid drugs on an inflammatory response of periodontal tissues must also be considered.…”

Introduction One of the most important symptoms of Sjögren syndrome is xerostomia. The oral cavity deprived of saliva and its natural lubricative, protective and antibacterial properties is prone to a number of unfavourable consequences. Aim To present the most important lesions on the oral mucosa in primary and secondary Sjögren syndrome and in dry mouth syndrome. Material and methods The study group comprised 55 patients including 52 women and 3 men aged 20–72 years (average: 28.25 years). Results Basing on the accepted criteria, primary Sjögren syndrome was diagnosed in 22 (40%) patients, secondary Sjögren syndrome in 18 (32.7%) patients, and dry mouth syndrome in 15 (27.27%) patients. The physical examination and the examination of the mouth were performed and history was elicited from every patient. Conclusions The most common pathologies appearing on the oral mucosa in primary and secondary Sjögren syndrome are angular cheilitis, cheilitis, increased lip dryness as well as non-specific ulcerations, aphthae and aphthoid conditions.

“…Geographical region was selected because the prevalence of some environmental risk factors for RA may differ among regions. SS was selected because it was found to increase wrist and periodontal bone destruction risk in patients with RA,35 and may be associated with periodontitis 36. In Taiwan, the classification criteria proposed in 1986 and the revised classification criteria by the American–European Consensus Group in 2002 were used as criteria for certifying SS as a catastrophic illness before and after 2002, respectively 37.…”
