Abstract
- Systemic sclerosis is a complex autoimmune connective tissue disease of unknown cause that causes sclerosis and inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Sclerosis involving the face can lead to microstomia, leading to difficulties with mastication, phonation, and oral hygiene. Although many agents have been used to treat internal organ involvement, they often have compromised efficacy on cutaneous manifestation including facial dermal sclerosis. In this case presentation, we will introduce a surgical technique to correct scleroderma-induced microstomia.
