Abstract:The human body releases around 500-600mL of saliva daily, however when values of unstimulated whole saliva range from 0.1 to 0.2mL/ min, there is a condition called Hyposalivation or hyposialia. Hyposalia is characterized by a large number of systemic conditions, including Sjögren's syndrome, a chronic autoimmune disease that affects between 0.1 and 3% of the world population and is characterized by exocrinopathy of the salivary glands leading to glandular hypofunction and thus decreasing the normal salivary flow. Saliva is part of innate immunity, when there is a decrease in protein secretion, numerous oral manifestations occur such as dental caries, candidiasis, gingival disease, angular cheilitis, lymphomas of the salivary glands, dysphagia, erythematous and fissured tongue, among others. Currently there is no defined dental treatment, however there are alternative treatments by sialogogues and salivary substitutes, plus non-pharmacological therapies, which seek to maintain the ecology and oral conditions stable, in addition to preventive and restorative dental treatment for lesions already established as a consequence of the disease. The aim of this study is to conduct a literature review on the characteristics, classification, oral manifestations and dental management of Sjögren's syndrome.

“…2,3 This condition can occur in isolation as primary Sjögren's syndrome, 4 or it can manifest as secondary when presenting together with other autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, 5 sclerosis, among others. 6 Due to a decrease in salivary flow, patients with Sjögren's syndrome have an increase incidence of dental caries, periodontal disease, 7 mucositis, neoplasms, tooth loss, 8 as well as Candida albicans 9 infections.…”

Resumen: El síndrome de Sjögren es una enfermedad autoinmune crónica, caracterizada por la presencia de hiposalivación y xeroftalmia, la cual además de otros factores es diagnosticada por la presencia del factor reumatoide en sangre. El objetivo del presente estudio es evaluar la presencia del factor reumatoide (IgG-IgM) en saliva parotídea de pacientes con síndrome de Sjögren primario y secundario. Materiales y métodos: Se analizaron 40 muestras de pacientes con síndrome de Sjögren primario y secundario previamente diagnosticados por el

Aim. To assess the dental anxiety level among dental, medical, and pharmacy students of MAHSA University, Malaysia. Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted among 1500 undergraduate students of MAHSA University. The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) was used to measure dental anxiety among the study population. The responses were assessed by 5-point likert scale ranging from 1 to 5. The level of anxiety was categorized into lowly anxious (5–11), moderately anxious (12–18), and severely anxious ≥19. Out of 1500 students enrolled, 1024 students (342 males and 682 females) completed and returned the questionnaire having response rate of 68.26%. Results. There was a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001) when the mean dental anxiety scores were compared among the three faculties and dental students had lowest mean score (11.95 ± 4.21). The fifth year (senior) dental students scored significantly (P = 0.02) lower mean anxiety score as compared to the first dental students (junior). The students were anxious mostly about tooth drilling and local anesthetic injection. Conclusions. Dental students have a significantly low level of dental anxiety as compared with medical and pharmacy students. Incorporation of dental health education in preuniversity and other nondental university curriculums may reduce dental anxiety among the students.
