This clinical report describes the treatment and long-term follow-up of a patient with Sjogren's syndrome treated with osseointegrated implants and a mandibular fixed complete denture. The implants and prosthesis have remained stable and functional for 13 years. Implant treatment may, therefore, offer a viable long-term treatment alternative for patients with Sjogren's syndrome.
