Abstract(s)
Diferentes patologias sistémicas e alterações fisiológicas têm como consequência alterações no fluxo salivar que poderão levar à xerostomia. Este estudo teve como objectivo abordar as causas e consequências dos desconfortos bucais causados pela presença da xerostomia, que levam á diminuição da qualidade de vida dos indivíduos.
A Xerostomia é o sintoma de boca seca, resultando em danos na fisiologia bucal, tais como: dificuldade na mastigação, deglutição, fonação e aumento na prevalência de infecções como a candidíase, cárie e doença periodontal. Sendo assim é de fundamental importância a prevenção e o controlo desses efeitos bucais adversos através de um correcto diagnóstico e tratamento.

This study attends to the causes and consequences of oral discomfort caused by xerostomia, leading to a decreased quality of life of the affected persons. Xerostomia, is a symptom of drying mouth , resulting in damage to the oral physiology, such as difficulty in chewing, swallowing, phonation, and increased prevalence of infections such as candidiasis, caries and periodontal disease. It is therefore of fundamental importance the prevention and control of these oral adverse effects, with a correct diagnosis and treatment.
