Abstract:
Sjogren syndrome (SS) is a common autoimmune disease associated with the immune-mediated destruction of exocrine glands, primarily the salivary and lacrimal glands. As a result, patients have xerophthalmia and xerostomia (Sicca syndrome). The diagnosis of SS can be difficult due to its multifactorial nature and often insidious symptoms, and there is no one test for its diagnosis. The many oral manifestations in SS stemming from the xerostomia present challenges to the treating dentist. Dentists should be knowledgeable about SS and its palliative care to help improve their patients\' quality of life.
