Diagnosis of Sjogren's Syndrome From a Xerostomia Case Accompanied by Multiple Dental Caries

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive and systemic approach for determining the etiology of patients with xerostomia and the rapidly progressing potential systemic diseases that can result. Dentists must be reminded of their role in the early diagnosis and treatment of some systemic diseases, because the oral environment may show early symptoms that are relatively easy to detect.
