Periodontitis is a chronic and destructive condition in which the tooth supporting tissues are broken down mainly by the host's immune inflammatory response. The response of the host is important because this determines the degree of destruction. The systemic lupus erythematosus is autoimmune disease, the main feature of which is the immune response against a large number of autoantigens. The aim of this study is to make a review of literature about systemic lupus erythematosus and try to find some association between this disease and periodontal disease.Downloads
