Background: Oral and periodontal manifestations are common in systemic sclerosis (SSc) which may result in poor nutritional status and significant morbidity. Better understanding of these manifestations is crucial for better patient outcomes. We aimed to evaluate dental and oral manifestations in patients with SSc in comparison to healthy control and to study the relationship between these findings and systemic sclerosis disease activity index, skin thickness, other systemic affection, as well as the oral health-related quality of life in these patients Patients and Methods: 50 patients with SSc were included in this case-control study (Group A) and 50 apparently healthy controls …

Objective: In this article, garden cress and ozone were evaluated for their potential therapeutic properties of PDL and resorption of alveolar bone in the periodontal tissues based on rats' experimental periodontitis and to assess the clinical effectiveness of local application of garden cress and ozone for treatment and management of periodontitis patients using scaling and root planing. Methodology: Thirty mature Wistar male albino rats. Three groups of rats were formed; periodontitis without treatment, periodontitis with garden cress, and periodontitis plus ozone therapy. The present study also included thirty periodontitis Patients were randomly allocated to one of three groups of ten …

Background: SLE is a chronic autoimmune disease predominantly affecting young females. Systemic involvement along with variable clinical presentations characterizes SLE. Various oral and dental manifestations have been described in SLE that include oral ulcerations, candida infection, and periodontal disease. We aimed to detect oral mucosal and dental disease in SLE patients and its relation to demographic features, general disease activity, and the extra-articular manifestation. Patients and Methods: 80 patients with SLE were included in this cross-sectional study. Patients were allocated into 2 groups, 40 patients in each group, according to SLE disease control with immunosuppressive medications: group A included patients …

Background: RA is a chronic immune-mediated systemic disorder; its pathogenesis is complex. Genetic, environmental, hormonal, and lifestyle are the main risk factors. The correlation between oral health and RA is rising. Oral manifestations in RA include temporomandibular joint disorder, secondary Sjögren’s syndrome, xerostomia, and periodontal disease. Previous studies suggest a bidirectional relationship between RA and periodontal diseases. This study aims to detect oral mucosal and dental disease in RA patients and its relation to demographic features, disease activity, and extra-articular manifestation. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 150 patients with RA allocated into two groups, 75 patients in each …
