چکیده
Modern etiopathogenic and diagnostic procedures of oral diseases are founded on molecular biology, genetic engineering, autoimmunity, pathohistological, cytological and immunofluorescence methods. The autoimmune processes may include the humoral and cellular immune responses and all organ systems may be involved. The systematic and orofacial manifestations of the scleroderma with medical and pathohistological documentation indicates to interdisciplinary cooperation in the treatment of such patients.
