Abstract：Patients with SjÖgren's syndrome(SS)have reduced salivary secretion and increased mucosal sensitivity to stimulation.After the restoration of traditional complete denture,it is easy to have problems such as poor denture retention,mucosal tenderness,inflammation and material allergy.This problem also exists in people with dry mouth caused by surgical removal of salivary glands,maxillofacial radiotherapy,and age-related changes in salivary glands.At present,for SS patients,the drawbacks of traditional dentures can be improved by full dentures,designing dentures with liquid reservoirs,selecting denture materials that are conducive to retention of saliva and non-sensitization of mucosa,using denture stabilizer and artificial saliva,and closed-mouth impression,etc.However,there is no systematic solution in clinical practice.This article reviews the research status of prosthodontic treatment for SS patients at home and abroad,discusses the scheme and effect of prosthodontic treatment for SS patients,and puts forward comprehensive treatment suggestions based on existing researches,in order to provide prosthodontic treatment reference for such patients.
