    Author: Brennan MT, Valerin MA, Napeñas JJ, Lockhart PB.
    Journal: Dent Clin North Am; 2005 Jan; 49(1):127-41, ix. PubMed ID: 15567365.
    Abstract:
    Lupus erythematosus manifests as cutaneous variants, such as discoid lupus erythematosus or systemic lupus erythematosus. Systemic lupus erythematosus is a multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by general autoantibody production and a wide range of mucocutaneous, renal, neuropsychiatric, cardiovascular, infectious, and hematologic manifestations. This article discusses the prevalence of and considerations for oral mucosal lesions in lupus erythematosus and the impact of the various disease manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus on dental management.
