Abstract
Xerostomia, or dry mouth, is an increasingly prevalent complaint among dental patients. It interferes with normal mastication, diminishes taste perception, and provokes constant concern about oral health. Notably, xerostomia affects not only physical health but also the psychological and emotional well-being of patients.
A search of publications conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and eLIBRARY.RU revealed that in peer-reviewed original studies, 30% to 50% of xerostomia cases occur in the presence of various pathologic conditions of the periodontal tissues and oral mucosa. These include gingivitis, periodontitis, potentially malignant disorders, allergic, autoimmune, infectious, and neurogenic diseases of the oral mucosa. Such conditions may present as primary diseases or comorbidities in patients with diverse systemic disorders, including those of neurogenic and psychodepressive origin.
Currently, no standardized diagnostic or treatment protocols exist for managing xerostomia in patients with depressive and other mental health disorders. Furthermore, detailed assessment and correction of the pro- and antioxidant balance in oral fluid are warranted, as disruptions in this system significantly impair quality of life, impacting patients’ social functioning and daily activity.
