Abstract
Scleroderma is a rare chronic connective tissue disorder with unknown etiology characterized by an excessive deposition of collagen in multi-organ systems. It can result in vascular anomalies, excess fibrosis, and autoimmune phenomenon. Patients with this condition can develop complex oral and periodontal manifestations requiring extreme care. Periodontal complications such as increased bone loss and gingival recessions are common in subjects with scleroderma. The oral management of a patient with gingival recessions using a free gingival graft (FGG) technique is presented in this case report.
