Abstract
Sjogren’s Syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that
affects salivation and consequently the health of oral tissues at
incidence of 0.2% of the population, a systemic review gave an
average of 93.7% survival of implants in such patient’s group [1,2].
And they are good candidate for implants as they can’t wear dentures
owning to the lack of saliva and sensitive mucosa [2].
