Introduction.- Because of an increasing number of older people in our community presenting with a variable decrease of salivary flow which affects their quality of life, we aimed to analyze the prevalence of salivary decrease and xerostomia in relation to various causing factors. Purpose.-The objective of this study was to analyze the prevalence of a decrease of normal salivary secretion and xerostomia in relation to various factors in the older population of our community. Material and method.- One hundred mvi twenty-six edentulous male and female suhjects older than 50 years (62.41 8,24) were entered . A chart was specially designed for this study where both local ami general predisposing factors were recorded. The results were statistically analyzed.(P'z0,05) Results.- 40,5% of the subjects had xerostomia. The number of cases increased with age and was larger among women belng clifferences statistically significant in womeri aged 60-69 years. 34,9% appeared to be in good health, 65,1% suffered from one or more systemic diseases, while 53,3% used medication daily (2,4 +/- 1,10 daily drugs). Discusslon.- There were significant differences when scarce salivary flow and a feeling of oral dryness were assoeiated with health problems and the use of medication The study showed that oid age is a major factor in the decrease of salivary secretion and xerostomia, and that women are usually more affected. Conclusions.- Xerostomía may be attributed to various causes. It is not considered a disease but a clinical manifestation of oral dryness with or without hyposalivation. Once the disorder has heen identified, health professionals shouldjoin to design a suitable treatment planning. |

Introducción y objetivo: Debido al aumento de la población anciana en nuestra sociedad, aquejada por disminución variable del flujo salival, influyendo en su calidad de vida, el objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la prevalencia de la disminución salival y xerostomía en relación con distintos factores causales. Materiales y métodos: A 126 individuos edéntulos. mayores de 50 años de edad (3Z 62,41±8,24), de ambos sexos, se realizó una historia clínica diseñada al efecto, registrando los factores locales y generales predisponentes. Los resultados se analizaron estadísticamente (p< 0,05). Resultados: 40,5% presentó xerostomía, con mayor cantidad de casos a mayor edad y sexo femenino, con diferencias significativas en mujeres de 60 a 69 años de edad. El 34,9% estaba aparentemente sano ye! 65.1% padecía una o más enfermedades sistémicas y el 53,3% usaba cotidianamente medicación ( 2,14± 1.10 drogas diarias). Discusión: Escaso flujo salival y sensación de sequedad oral se relacionaron con problemas médicos yuso de medicamentos, con diferencias significativas. El estudio mostró al aumento de la edad y el sexo femenino como factores en la disminución del flujo salival y xerostomía, pudiendo ser afectado por la edad, los enfermedades y/ o la medicación, que se acentúan con la edad. Conclusiones La xerostomía no es una enfermedad sino una manifestación clínica de sensación de sequedad oral con o sin hiposialia. De etiología diversa, al ser identificada permite un plan de tratamiento que deberán proyectar juntos distintos profesionales de la salud. Universidad Nacional Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.
