Oral Signs of Connective Tissue Disease

  • First Online:
Oral Signs of Systemic Disease

Abstract

In this chapter, we aim to discuss the epidemiology, pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of oral manifestations encountered in the autoimmune diseases of Sjögren’s syndrome (SS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), and dermatomyositis (DM). Systemic autoimmune conditions are estimated to affect 5%–8% of Americans. Oral manifestations are encountered with high frequency and are often the first clinical signs or symptoms of the disease.
