Scleroderma : a case report

Abstract

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.
