Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by xerostomia. Although a common observation in SS is increased susceptibility to caries, the level of periodontal disease has not been described in these individuals. The purpose of this study was to determine the periodontal status of 14 SS female subjects who had a mean age of 52.9 +/- 11.6 years. Plaque, gingival, and calculus indices as well as probing depth (PD) and attachment level (AL) were determined on 7 index teeth in each subject. Result indicated that individuals with Sjögren's Syndrome did not exhibit significant periodontal disease.
