JANE SALAS, E.; ESTRUGO DEVESA, A.; AYUSO MONTERO, R. e LOPEZ LOPEZ, J.. Treatment of dry mouth: new trends. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2014, vol.30, n.3, pp.135-138. ISSN 2340-3152.
Decreased saliva affects patients quality of life, that can improve changing certain health habits like hydration, usin groom humidifiers, avoid toxics and healthy behaviors, including frequent visits to the dentist. Prevention in patients who are going to be irradiated and modify xerostomizing drugs where possible contribute to the welfare of these patients. Different salivary stimulation methods, both pharmacological (acid, pilocarpine) and non-pharmacological (mechanical, electrical, laser, acupuncture or hyperbaric oxygen) and the use of salivary substitutes help maintain oral moisture better. In the future, the development of organic components from stem cells will probably be a valid line of treatment.
