    Author: Lilly JP, Fotos PG.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 1996; 44(5):404-8; quiz 419-20. PubMed ID: 9171038.
    Abstract:
    Sjogren's syndrome, a common autoimmune disease process, is characterized by destruction of exocrine (including the lacrimal and salivary) glands. Patients with this disorder may initially complain of a dry mouth or have rapid onset of new carious lesions. Here, a case of Sjogren's syndrome is presented that was initially diagnosed because of dental complaints, and long-term treatment of Sjogren's patients is discussed.
