Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a thorough update on Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) and its adverse impacts on oral health. The opening section focuses on the clinical and laboratory characteristics of SS and its current management. Here, readers will find information on diagnostic criteria, pharmacotherapy, dental management, and the importance of saliva in oral health and SS. Attention then turns to the immunopathogenesis of SS, which includes the mechanisms of secretory dysfunction, myoepithelial cell functions in salivary gland physiology and disease, dysregulated innate and adaptive immunity, and B-cell expansion and neoplasia. The final section details important advances in SS diagnosis and therapy. The differential diagnoses of recurrent glandular swelling, glandular irrigation and sialendoscopy, and salivary gland ultrasound for SS in children are explained, along with the pharmacological management for SS, clinical care for dry eyes, and gene therapy. This book will be of interest to not only dental practitioners and researchers but also rheumatologists and pathologists.

Book excerpt: Oral infections and inflammations can affect the overall health of the oral cavity. Dentists strongly recommend the maintenance of oral hygiene for the prevention of oral diseases. General guidelines of ensuring good oral health include brushing twice daily and using flossettes, floss and interdental brushes. Regular checkups for professional evaluation and cleaning are highly recommended. The most common types of dental disease are gum diseases and tooth decay. Limiting the intake of snacks and eating a balanced diet can help prevent periodontal disease and tooth decay. The mouth may be affected by several cutaneous and gastrointestinal conditions. Pathological conditions in the biofilm surrounding the teeth lead to plaque-induced diseases. Oral medicine aims to treat lichen planus, pemphigus vulgaris and Behçet's disease. The diagnosis and follow-up care of pre-malignant lesions of the oral cavity, chronic and acute pain conditions relative to myofascial pain, paroxysmal neuralgias and atypical facial pain, among others. It also involves the management of temporomandibular joint disorder, trigeminal neuralgia, Sjögren's syndrome, etc. This book is a clinical guide to oral health and medicine and unravels the recent studies in these disciplines. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Effect of Cevimeline on oral health and quality of life in Sjogren's syndrome patients submitted by LEUNG Chiu Man, Katherine for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in October 2006 This thesis reports the results of two studies, 1) a cross-sectional study to investigate the oral health condition, oral microbial profile, saliva flow and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of Sjogren's syndrome (SS) patients; and 2) a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial (RCT) to assess the effect of cevimeline on oral health condition, oral microbial profile, saliva flow and HRQoL in SS patients. A total of 82 southern Chinese subjects participated in the cross-sectional study including primary SS (pSS), secondary SS (sSS) patients and non-SS subjects. Oral health condition, oral microbial profile and saliva flow were determined using verified clinical and laboratory techniques. HRQoL was evaluated using the SF-36, OHIP and a dry mouth questionnaire. Primary SS patients had a greater prevalence of oral candidiasis and xerostomic tongue changes (P Fifty southern Chinese SS patients entered and 44 completed the 24-week RCT. They were randomly assigned to receive cevimeline (30 mg three times per day) for 10 weeks (first arm) then stopped for 4 weeks (washout) before switching to take placebo for another 10 weeks (second arm) or receive placebo in the first arm and cevimeline in the second arm. Clinical oral examination, stimulated saliva flow measurement, oral microbial profile and HRQoL (XI, GOHAI, OSDI and SF-36) evaluation were carried out at baseline (week 0), after taking the first trial medication (week 10), after the washout period (week 14) and after taking the second trial medication (week 24). Patient satisfaction and preference were recorded after each trial medication (weeks 10 and 24). On taking cevimeline, there was a significant improvement of the GOHAI scores, as compared to placebo (P = 0.001). No significant differences were detected among other investigated parameters between cevimeline and placebo, except a reduction in the C. albicans level in plaque after cevimeline use. Cevimeline was effective in improving the OHRQoL and oral microbial profile of SS sufferers. However, it had no effects on oral health condition and saliva flow in SS sufferers. Patient preference and satisfaction were similar between cevimeline and placebo. Oral health condition, saliva flow and HRQoL were significantly impaired, and substantial alteration in the oral microbial profile was observed in southern Chinese SS patients. Cevimeline improved the OHRQoL and oral microbial profile of southern Chinese patients with SS, but it had no effect on general HRQoL, oral health condition and stimul

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease which can cause debilitating fatigue and pain. Diagnosis is often challenging due to the variability of symptoms and severity, and a multidisciplinary approach to management and treatment is required, yet there are few comprehensive resources covering everything clinicians need to know. The Oxford Textbook of Sjögren's Syndrome bridges this gap by offering extensive coverage of system by system manifestations and treatments, as well as practical, evidence-based advice on diagnosing and managing this condition. Bringing together recent advances in research and therapies, this up-to-date guide covers everything clinicians need to know from the fundamental science and clinical characteristics of this condition, to the immunological and biochemical aspects, investigative procedures such as biopsy techniques and imaging modalities, and pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.
