Abstract:
Background: Sjogren's Syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks the exocrine glands. The characteristics of this syndrome involve dysfunction and destruction of the exocrine glands, leading to oral manifestations. Patients with Sjogren's Syndrome are at a significantly higher risk of developing oral cavity diseases. Common oral manifestations found in Sjogren's Syndrome include sialadenitis, lichen planus, and salivary swelling.
Material and Methods: The literature review was carried out in Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and Researchgate as well as various relevant sources with the keywords: “Oral Candidiasis", “Sjogren’s Syndrome", "Oral Cavity Lesions”, "Flow Saliva", and "Oral Health."
Conclusion: In patients with Sjogren's Syndrome, the saliva flow tends to decrease, which can increase the risk of higher levels of Candida albicans bacteria, thereby raising the likelihood of developing Oral Candidiasis.
Keywords:
Oral Candidiasis; Sjogren's Syndrome; Oral Cavity Lesions; Flow Saliva; Oral Health.
