Sj ögren's syndrome is not a risk factor for periodontal disease: a systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: No significant differences in the GI, PI, CAL, and PPD were observed in patients with SS compared to controls. These results indicate that there is no evidence of a higher risk for periodontal disease in patients with SS, while SS patients are more susceptible to caries compared to non-SS patients.
