In a study by Júnior et al. (2025), three individuals with scleroderma exhibited different oral symptoms. A 63-year-old woman showed telangiectasia, which are small dilated blood vessels, on her lips, tongue, and palate. Another case, a 42-year-old woman, presented with masticatory muscle atrophy (weakening of the jaw muscles), microstomia (reduced mouth opening), periodontal disease, telangiectasia, and stiffening of the tongue. The third case involved a 69-year-old man, but the specific oral manifestations in his situation were not detailed in the abstract.
These cases highlight the variability of oral manifestations in scleroderma patients, indicating the importance of dental professionals being aware of these potential symptoms. The study underscores the need for careful oral examination in scleroderma patients to manage and address these diverse oral health challenges effectively.
