Episodes of “Dry mouth” in therapeutic dental practice

Abstract

The problem of “Dry mouth” or “Xerostomia” in medical language is being widely spread in recent years. The symptom of “Dry mouth” in the oral cavity may occur as a result of hyposalivation (reduction of salivation) or asialia (complete cessation of salivation). Xerostomia can provoke diseases of internal organs (diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, psycho-emotional disorders) and oral organs (caries, glossalgia, periodontal disease and oral mucosa, paresthesia).
