Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Therapeutic Interventions in Sjögren's Syndrome: A Systematic Review Literature

In strict accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines, our research team conducted a comprehensive systematic literature review (SLR) to explore the treatment and preventive strategies for Sjögren's Syndrome (SS). Leveraging a meticulous search strategy, we scoured reputable databases such as PubMed, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library. Our analysis zeroed in on 10 seminal articles that met our stringent inclusion criteria, providing a holistic view of the existing treatment landscape for SS, along with emerging diagnostic tools and associated biomarkers indicative of lymphoma risk. From a clinical standpoint, our findings unequivocally highlight the detrimental effects of SS on patients' overall well-being. Of particular interest is the growing body of evidence that underscores the effectiveness of natural remedies and over-the-counter supplements rich in antioxidants as viable therapeutic interventions. Contrary to expectations, no single laboratory marker emerged as highly sensitive for the diagnosis of SS. On a promising note, dental implants have been demonstrated to offer lasting benefits with minimal side effects, emphasizing their potential utility in enhancing the oral health of individuals affected by SS. Given the evolving nature of treatment approaches for SS, our review strongly calls for further investigations. Such research endeavors are imperative for validating the effectiveness of these treatment options, whether they serve as primary or preventive care solutions, with the overarching aim of improving the quality of oral health among those suffering from SS.
