Secondary Sjögren syndrome: A case report using silver diamine fluoride and glass ionomer cement
Background And Overview:
The authors describe dental treatment for a patient with a complex medical history of secondary Sjögren syndrome with systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Case Description:
An 18-year-old woman's rheumatology group referred her for oral evaluation; she had secondary Sjögren syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis. The patient had multiple advanced carious lesions, extreme sensitivity, and hyposalivation. The patient selected a minimally invasive treatment plan that focused on silver diamine fluoride (SDF), partial caries removal, and glass ionomer cement (GIC) restorations. The SDF treatment and GIC restorations were successful in arresting carious lesions and restoring form and function but may not completely prevent new carious lesions from forming in the future.
Conclusions And Practical Implications:
The case shows that using less invasive treatments, such as SDF and GIC restorations can be used to manage complex cases involving extreme caries risk and be preferable to endodontic treatment and extractions.
