Abstract
Progressive systemic sclerosis is a generalised disease which also manifests in the orofacial region. Among the first symptoms are Raynaud’s phenomena, tense skin, difficulty swallowing and radiologically visible loss of lamina dura. The dentist has an important role in the diagnostics and treatment of this disease.
