Abstract

This review aimed to determine the orofacial radiological features associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc) characterises the oral health complications experienced by SSc patients and identifies their potential oral health care needs. SSc has several orofacial manifestations, including fibrosis of the overlying skin, limited mouth opening, a dry mouth, and swallowing difficulties. SSc patients also have an increased risk of periodontal disease and tooth decay. By outlining the orofacial radiological features and related complications, this review hopes to enhance the dental services provided to this population by enabling the prediction of their oral healthcare needs while calling for increased awareness among dental healthcare providers.
