“…Deformity and underdevelopment of the mandible may be found i n children with localized sclero- derma of the linear type (9)(10)(11). The one previous report in the dental literature of fracture of the mandibular rami in PSS was of the present Case 12 (12).…”

Five of 16 patients with progressive systemic sclerosis were found to have bone resorption at the angle of the mandible. This finding appears to be closely related to the tightness of the skin of the face, atrophy of the masseter and pterygoid muscles, small size of the oral orifice, and a significantly high frequency in blacks. The mandible must therefore be added to the list of those bones that can be resorbed in progressive systemic sclerosis.

“…In virtually all previously described cases, as summarized in table 1[13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27], oral involvement was secondary to a linear form of morphea, either in the en coup de sabre variant or in the Parry-Romberg syndrome. Besides the typical cutaneous features, the patients presented with scar-like or white indurated oral plaques, unerupted teeth, root development defects, root atrophy, localized gingival recession and alveolar bone resorption.…”

“…The latter also encompasses morphea en coup de sabre and Parry-Romberg syndrome affecting the scalp and face with potentially devastating complications [3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. Whilst in almost all cases the sclerosing process exclusively affects the skin, there are anecdotal cases in which associated mucosal involvement has been described [12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19]. …”

Oral Mucosal Morphea: A New Variant

et al. 2012

Morphea is a cutaneous disorder characterized by an excessive collagen deposition. While in almost all cases the sclerosing process exclusively affects the skin, there are anecdotal cases in which associated mucosal involvement has been described. We here report the case of a woman developing a whitish indurated plaque over the left upper vestibular mucosa and hard palate leading to dental mobility and exposure of the roots of several teeth. Cone beam computed tomography of the left maxilla showed bone resorption involving the upper cuspid to the second molar region with widened periodontal ligament spaces, while light microscopy studies demonstrated epithelial atrophy and fibrosis of the dermis extending into the submucosa with hyalinization of subepithelial collagen. Our observation expands the spectrum of clinical presentations of morphea and provides the first example of isolated oral morphea. Its recognition is important to avoid significant local complications.

“…Morphea is characterized by chronic inflammatory changes and an excessive amount of collagen in the skin and underlying tissues. [1][2][3][4] The disorder usually manifests as well-circumscribed plaques of different shape and size with signs of sclerosis and/or atrophy. 2,5,6 Usually the skin of the patient is affected; the subcutaneous tissue, underlying bone, and, rarely, the underlying central nervous system could also be involved.…”
