  • Rheumatology and Stomatology
  • Autoimmune Diseases
  • Clinical Diagnosis

Context:

  • Review of theoretical concepts and clinical cases of Sjögren Syndrome (Primary and Secondary).
  • Study conducted in collaboration with the Portuguese Institute of Rheumatology (April 1989-1991).
  • Focus on the Stomatology Department of Pulido Valente Hospital.

Purpose:

  • Highlight the significance of oral evaluation in diagnosing plurisystemic diseases like Sjögren Syndrome.
  • Establish diagnostic criteria for Sjögren Syndrome within the Portuguese population.
