As one of the major autoimmune conditions involving the oral, head, and neck regions, Sjögren's syndrome has a significant level of dentally related pathology. As a result of salivary dysfunction, the teeth and mucosa may develop a wide array of changes. If these changes are not managed properly, major oral dysfunction can occur. An evaluation of salivary function, the management of xerostomia and its effects, dietary counseling, and an overall appreciation of the extraoral components of Sjögren's syndrome are presented. The dental component of comprehensive patient management is one of the most important aspects of this condition, with the dental practitioner being an essential part of the health-care team.
