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.

Abstract
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
