Xerostomia. Part I: Relationship to other oral symptoms and salivary gland hypofunction

L M Sreebny et al. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1988 Oct.

Abstract

The prevalence of xerostomia and nine other oral symptoms was studied in 529 subjects (18 years or older) in a family health center. The findings show that (1) dry mouth and several other symptoms are common in an outpatient population and (2) they are a valid indicator of salivary gland hypofunction.
