Article Synopsis
- The study explores the oral healthcare challenges faced by people with scleroderma, highlighting that these issues are poorly understood despite being frequently reported by patients.
- Surveys and interviews with patients, dentists, and rheumatologists in the UK revealed that a high percentage of patients (95.5%) experience oral and dental manifestations, significantly affecting their quality of life in physical, psychological, and social domains.
- Key findings suggest that most healthcare providers lack confidence in managing these challenges, and there’s a need for better communication and information sharing between medical and dental practitioners to improve patient care.
Oral and dental manifestations of scleroderma are extremely common, yet they are often overlooked within rheumatology and poorly understood within dentistry. Previous research has indicated the need to understand the oral and dental experiences of people living with scleroderma and those involved in their care. This scoping review aims, for the first time, to comprehensively map what is known regarding the identification and management of oral and dental manifestations of scleroderma, how these are experienced by people living with scleroderma, and to explore key characteristics of barriers and enablers to good oral and dental care in scleroderma.
