Abstract
Among the risk factors for dry mouth, or xerostomia, are both estrogen deficiency in women during menopause and the use of medications with xerogenic properties. Until now, it has not been clearly determined, whether dryness in the oral cavity in women during menopause is only associated with subjective sensations or is accompanied by qualitative and quantitative changes in mixed saliva. To determine the frequency and nature of xerostomia syndrome in women during menopause with high and extremely high risk of cardiovascular diseases. The study involved 35 patients (with subjective sensations of dryness in the oral cavity) and 20 apparently healthy women. All study participants were questioned for any dental complaints, and the quantitative indicators of the oral fluid were assessed. An individualized oral hygiene complex and a moisturizing gel were prescribed as correction of the subjective signs of xerostomia. The follow-up visit was carried out after 1 month. The patients in natural menopause felt slight subjective manifestations of dry mouth confirmed by objective decrease in salivary secretion; whereas in most cases subjective dryness in the oral cavity is accompanied by normal secretion. The prescribed complex for correction of dental complaints ensures decrease in the subjective signs of dryness, decrease in taste distortion and halitosis.
