Objective.
The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the prevalence of oral manifestations among systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients in Qatar, in order to warrant future studies that would investigate each one of these manifestations with detail and further scrutiny.
Methods.
Study procedures took place between November 2014 and April 2016.
All patients visiting the outpatient rheumatology clinics at Hamad General Hospital, Doha, Qatar, were asked to join.
The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1997 criteria of SLE were used.
The patients were examined initially by a rheumatologist and were later scheduled for an appointment with a dentist at the same institution.
A total of 77 patients were recruited for the study.
Results.
Prevalence rates for the different oral manifestations ranged from 2.4% for soft palate ulcers, cheilitis, and oral candida to 88.1% for the presence of cavitation.
Gingivitis, periodontal disease, cavities, and missing teeth were observed in more than 50% of the sample.
The prevalence of periodontal disease and missing teeth was higher among those with an SLE duration > 8 years.
On the contrary, the prevalence of gingivitis and cavities was higher among those with an SLE duration ≤ 8 years.
Conclusion.
This study found high rates of gingivitis, periodontal disease, cavities, and missing teeth among SLE patients in Qatar.
It is recommended that healthcare providers of such patients monitor the presence of any oral manifestations in order to arrange for early treatment and prevention efforts.
Future prospective longitudinal studies with adequate sample size and power are needed in order to ascertain any causation factors or common etiology pathways.
