Scleroderma is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder which is characterized by fibrosis of visceral organs, skin and blood vessels. This condition can be localized or systemic. Its estimated prevalence is 250 cases in a million and it is more common in women than in men. Resorption of the mandibular angle and coronoid process can be observed in patients with scleroderma. Pressure of fibrous mucocutaneous tissues is thought to be the cause of the resorption. Decreased number of wrinkles due to sclerosis and distinct facial features because of the atrophy of ala nasi are among common clinical characteristics of this condition. The aim of this case report is to present a 40-year-old female patient with scleroderma who presented with signs of resorption at the angle of mandible, coronoid process, as well as widening of the periodontal space.

Skleroderma, derinin iç organların ve kan damarlarının fibrözleşmesi ile karakterize, genel olarak lokal ve sistemik olmak üzere ikiye ayrılan bir bağ dokusu hastalığıdır. Prevalansı bir milyonda 250 olarak tahmin edilen skleroderma, kadınlarda erkeklere oranla daha sık görülür. Alt çene angulus mandibula ve koronoid çıkıntılarda rezorpsiyonun görülebildiği sklerodermada, buna fibrozise uğrayan mukokütanöz dokuların baskısının neden olduğu düşünülmektedir. Skleroza bağlı olarak kırışıklıkların kaybolması ve burun kıkırdaklarının rezorpsiyonu nedeniyle yüz görünümünün değişmesi bu hastalığın belirgin klinik özelliklerindendir. Bu olgu bildirisinde skleroderma tanısı almış olan 40 yaşındaki kadın hastanın panoramik radyografisinde sağ angulus ve koronoid çıkıntı bölgesinde görülen rezorpsiyonlar ve periodontal membrandaki genişlemeler sunulmuştur
