Article Synopsis
- Limited research on oral health in systemic sclerosis prompts a scoping review to identify studies related to quality of life across five key domains: symptoms, functional impacts, psychosocial factors, patient-related variables, and self-care practices.
- From 1460 studies reviewed, only 91 were included, with most being conducted in Europe or North America and featuring small participant numbers, indicating a significant gap in comprehensive research.
- The majority of studies focus on oral manifestations and symptoms, with fewer addressing other crucial areas; further systematic reviews and larger studies are essential to improve understanding and care for systemic sclerosis patients.
