Microstomie
Systemische sclerose is een relatief zeldzame bindweefselziekte, waarbij door een verhoogde afzetting van collageen vaak ernstige en progressieve fibrose van de huid ontstaat, en soms ook van de interne organen. Aantasting van de speekselklieren veroorzaakt hyposialie en xerostomie. Verstrakking van de huid verkleint de mondopening, waardoor de mondhygiëne en het verrichten van tandheelkundige ingrepen worden bemoeilijkt. Parodontitis en resorptie van kaakbot worden bij patiënten met systemische sclerose frequenter gerapporteerd.
Oral manifestations of systemic sclerosis
Systemic sclerosis is a relatively rare connective tissue disorder, in which a severe and progressive fibrosis of the skin and sometimes also of internal organs often develops as a result of an increased deposition of collagen. Fibrosis of the salivary glands may cause hyposalivation and xerostomia. Fibrosis of the perioral skin reduces the maximum opening of the mouth, thereby hampering dental treatment and the maintenance of oral hygiene. Periodontitis and bone resorption of the jaws are more frequently observed in systemic sclerosis patients.
