Abstract

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic multisystem autoimmune disorder characterized by the development of autoantibodies and immune complexes in association with a wide variety of clinical manifestations and tissue damage including oral mucosa. Oral lesions were non-spesific in SLE, may be present as erythematous areas, ulceration and white striae. Oral lesions are found in over 40% of patients with SLE. This study aim was to recognize the clinical manifestation of oral lesions associated with SLE. The clinical of SLE is variable and may be characterized by episodes of recurrent acute or chronic inflammation. Oral lesions which typically consist of erythematous areas, erosions or white patches, are fairly symmetrically distributed and resemble lichen Planus. The diagnosis of SLE requires several compatible clinical features and supportive laboratory studies. A wide spectrum of autoantibodies can be found in patients with SLE and are often associated with specific clinical features. The presence of anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) is highly specific for SLE and it can be a marker to differentiation with other diseases. Patients with SLE may present a variety of oral manifestations. Histological investigation plays an important role in the definitive diagnosis of oral lesions when clinical doubt exists.
