Sjogren’s syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by xerostomia (dry mouth), xerophthalmia (dry eyes), and lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands. In Sjogren’s syndrome the body’s defense system turns againist itself and attacks glands that produce moisture. Slide 3: Primary Sjogren’s Syndrome, which comprises dry mouth and dry eyes NOT ASSOCIATED with any connective tissue disease. Secondary Sjogren’s Syndrome, which comprises dry mouth and dry eyes ASSOCIATED with Rheumatoid Arthritis OR any connective tissue disease. Suspected Causes : Suspected Causes The cause of Sjogren’s Syndrome is unknown, however there are some contributing factors: Heredity Viral Infection Hormones Early Symptoms : Early Symptoms Dry eyes Dry mouth Difficulty chewing Dry cough Dry nose Dry throat Dry lungs Fatigue Late Symptoms : Late Symptoms Cavities Difficulty Swallowing Difficulty Chewing Oral Yeast Infections Oral effects : Oral effects Discomfort Difficult with eating or swallowing Disturbed taste sensation Disturbed quality of speech Predisposition to infection Ocular effects : Ocular effects Failure of tear secretion Failure of clearance of foreign particles from the cornea and conjunctiva Gritty sensation in the eyes and inflammation (keratoconjectivitis sicca) Risk of impairment or loss of sight. Sjogren’s is Systemic : Sjogren’s is Systemic All instances of Sjogren’s Syndrome are systemic, affecting the entire body. Although the hallmark symptoms of Sjogren’s syndrome are dry eyes and mouth, it can cause dryness of other organs affecting the kidneys, GI tract, vessels, lungs, liver, pancreas, and the CNS. Patients experience debilitating fatigue and joint pain Sjögren's Syndrome : Sjögren's Syndrome Lab Work : Lab Work Schirmer test/Slit-lamp exam measures dryness of eyes Erythrocyte Sedimentation rate (ESR) Complete Blood Count Urine Test Schirmer test : Schirmer test Diagnosis : Diagnosis Sjogren’s syndrome is diagnosed by blood tests, a decrease in tear and saliva production, salivary glands, and lip biopsy. Early diagnosis and a maintenance of dental and eye care is extremely important. Rheumatologists primarily have the responsibility of diagnosing and managing Sjogren’s Syndrome. Prognosis of the disease : Prognosis of the disease Ocular dryness can lead to chronic keratoconjunctivitis and corneal ulcers. Oral dryness leads to cavities, fissures, canidal infections and difficulty speaking and swallowing food. This disease process rarely shortens a patient’s lifespan. Facts about the disease : Facts about the disease It occurs 10 times more often in women than in men. Onset can occur at any age, but usually between 45 and 55 years of age. Treatment : Treatment Depends on symptoms. Artificial tears, eye ointments Saliva substitutes Frequent dental visits Treatment of xerophthalmia : Treatment of xerophthalmia General measures and replacement therapy Protective bicarbonate buffer solutions Stimulators of tear production Local : Cyclosporine A Systemic: Pilocarpine, Cimeviline Operative procedures Treatment of Xerostomia : Treatment of Xerostomia Oral hygiene to prevent DENTAL CARIES Early diagnosis and treatment of oral Candidiasis Saliva substitutes Systemic stimulation of glandular secretions Slide 20: Dryness of the eyes is treated with artificial tears such as METHYL CELLULOSE solution. In dental patients, sweet-eating should be prohibited. Slide 21: Thanks Sidra Maqsood You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
