ABSTRACT
El Síndrome de Sjõgren es una patología sistémica crónica autoinmune, cuyos síntomas principales son la xerolftalmia y la xerostomía. Por esta última el tratamiento con prótesis removible total convencional no es bien tolerado en estos pacientes. Se presenta un caso de un paciente género femenino, de 64 años, con síndrome de Sjõgren secundario, rehabilitada con prótesis removibles totales mucosoportada superior e implantorretenida inferior mediante dos implantes con fijaciones tipo O´ring. El presente caso se documenta para demostrar que no hay contraindicación en la atención de un paciente con este síndrome tanto para la rehabilitación protésica removible como para la colocación y pronóstico favorable de un tratamiento con implantes óseointegrados.

Clinical retinopathy eventually develops in the majority of insulin dependent diabetics during several decades of metabolic abnormality. Early structural lesions short of clinical significance may occasionally be detected in children much more frequently, however, after puberty. Major factors modulating the development of retinopathy are duration of diabetes, glycemic control and blood pressure.
