About this trial

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a rare chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by destruction of the exocrine glands, including the salivary glands.The lack of saliva exposes the patient to dental caries, and dental wear although this has rarely been shown in Sjögren's patients. Moreover, these patients seem to have more inflammation and gingival recession, although this has not been clearly identified in the literature.

Our main objective is to assess the prevalence of dental wear and gingival recession in patients with Sjögren's syndrome by analyzing of the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) score for erosions, Basic Erosive Wear Abrasion (BEWA) score for attrition and percentage of sites with periodontal recessions greater than 3 mm in relation to the total number of sites.

Our secondary objectives are to investigate a correlation between the prevalence of dental and gingival wear, gingival inflammation, Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index and (1) salivary parameters and (2) oral quality of life.

The salivary samples will be kept in a biological collection within the URP2496 for later analysis (biological collection CB-SJO).

Trial population

The source population consists of patients coming to consult in the oral medicine department of the Hospital of the AP-HP Charles Foix (Ivry/seine), in a specialized consultation for patients with Sjögren Gougerot syndrome created in collaboration with the Reference Center for Rare Immune Auto Diseases (including Sjögren) of the Rheumatology Department of the Bicêtre Hospital. And patients followed in the oral medicine department of the AP-HP Charles Foix Hospital (Ivry/Seine) following oral care after the oral assessment at the Sjogren consultation
