Abstract
- Sjögren’s syndrome (SjS) is a common autoimmune disorder characterized by lymphocytic infiltration in the salivary and lacrimal glands, resulting in severe dry mouth or eyes. The symptoms are complex and heterogeneous. Several diagnostic criteria have been proposed for SjS and its subsets over the years. However, on the other hands, great efforts have been made searching for reliable biomarkers able to ameliorate the diagnostic algorithm and the prognostic stratification of SjS patients. The aim of this article is to review biomarkers and treatments related to SjS for oral medicine specialists.
