A Case Report Of Anasthesia Management For Teeth Extraction In A Patient With Sjogren Syndrome

Abstract

Sjogren's syndrome, which is recognized as one of the most prevalent autoimmune disorders affecting individuals, exhibits a notable tendency towards a higher incidence among females, thereby indicating a significant gender disparity in its prevalence. The pathological decrease in salivary secretion associated with this particular condition results in a heightened susceptibility to the development of dental caries, a situation that underscores the importance of vigilant dental care and monitoring in affected patients. This case report meticulously outlines the comprehensive clinical summary of a 65-year-old female patient who possesses a well-documented medical history indicative of Sjogren's syndrome, for whom a successful administration of general anesthesia was executed for teeth extraction, thereby highlighting the complexities and considerations involved in managing such patients during surgical procedures. The successful execution of this anesthesia not only reflects the importance of understanding the implications of Sjogren's syndrome on overall health but also emphasizes the need for tailored anesthetic approaches that consider the unique challenges presented by this autoimmune disorder.
