“…The excessive collagen deposition in the cutaneous tissues around the mouth causes microstomia, which usually prevent the patient from opening and closing the mouth. Fibrosis of salivary glands leads to xerostomia, dysphagia, and subsequently periodontal infections (1,6). This may lead to…”

“…A high occurrence of dental caries as a result of zerostomia may be attributed to inadequate oral hygiene by virtue of sclerotic changes of the hands. Systemic Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which there is no consensus on the treatment protocol (3,5,6). In patients who have both diffuse cutaneous and visceral involvement, the treatment intensity is usually dictated by the immunosuppressive therapies used to address visceral disease.…”

“…Generally, scleroderma is seen in women between ages 30 and 50 with a prevalence rate of 250 per million (3,6). The incidence varies among populations with a report of 3.7 million per year in UK and Iceland, whereas, USA has an incidence of 18.7-22.8 million per year (7,8,9).…”

“…There are also fibrotic changes of structures within the mouth including the tongue, soft palate, larynx, salivary glands, and buccal mucous membrane leading to microstomia, dysarthria, dysphagia, and xerostomia. Periodontal manifestations including a loss of attached gingiva and multiple foci of recession may occur (5).The first specific clinical sign of scleroderma is the swelling on the skin of hands and fingers (17).…”

A case of Systemic Sclerosis is hereby reported, with brief review of literature emphasizing the clinical characteristics and management. Systemic Sclerosis is a connective tissue disorder affecting the skin, blood vessel, and visceral organs. Data relating to the occurrence of scleroderma is sparse or underreported in Liberia. This is a case report of a patient suffering from scleroderma seen at the Jackson F. Doe Regional Referral Hospital, Tappita, Nimba County, Liberia in May, 2018. The goal was to document the clinical occurrence of scleroderma in Liberia. Literature was reviewed using key words including scleroderma, sclerosis, Liberia, West Africa. Data bases searched were AJOL and Pubmed. Clinical manifestations of systemic scleroderma arise from the diffuse deposition of collagen in the skin and visceral organs coupled with vascular injury and immunologic abnormalities. The skin becomes taut resulting in claw like appearance of fingers and a mask like appearance of the face. There are associated orofacial changes resulting in decrease in facial profile, rigidity of tongue and microstomia. Keywords

“…Silica powder, vinyl chloride, L-tryptophan, silicone breast implants and organic solvents are among the environmental factors which were suspected to cause this condition ( 4 ). Scleroderma is mostly seen in women whose ages are between 30 and 50 and its prevalence is 250 cases in a million ( 2 , 5 ).…”

Scleroderma is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder which is characterized by fibrosis of visceral organs, skin and blood vessels. This condition can be localized or systemic. Its estimated prevalence is 250 cases in a million and it is more common in women than in men. Resorption of the mandibular angle and coronoid process can be observed in patients with scleroderma. Pressure of fibrous mucocutaneous tissues is thought to be the cause of the resorption. Decreased number of wrinkles due to sclerosis and distinct facial features because of the atrophy of ala nasi are among common clinical characteristics of this condition. The aim of this case report is to present a 40-year-old female patient with scleroderma who presented with signs of resorption at the angle of mandible, coronoid process, as well as widening of the periodontal space.

Dermatoses of the Oral Cavity and Lips

Oral and labial lesions are usually the result of local disease but may be the early signs of systemic disease, including dermatological disorders, and in some instances may cause the main symptoms. This chapter mainly discusses disorders of the periodontal and mucosal tissues that may be related to skin disease and that may present at a dermatology clinic. It should be borne in mind that the professionals most competent in diagnosing and treating oral diseases are those with formal dental training and who are therefore in a position to understand the full complexities of the region. This chapter is divided into a brief discussion of the biology of the mouth, an overview of the more common signs and symptoms affecting specific oral tissues, discussion of the disorders of the oral mucosa of most relevance to dermatology and a tabulated review of oral manifestations of systemic diseases. Only the more classic oral lesions are illustrated. For reasons of space restrictions, diseases affecting the teeth, salivary glands, jaws or temporomandibular joints are not discussed in any depth.
