Alterations In Salivary Gland Secretion And Contemporary Treatment Alternatives
نویسنده
چکیده
Saliva is a significant secretion in the preservation of oral cavity, preparation of food for chewing and swallowing, remineralization of teeth, neutralization of oral acid and simplification of speech. Decrease or increase of this secretion can cause various oral and general health problems. While hyposalivation leads to xerostomia, hypersalivation results in sialorrhea. Both of them have to be treated with proper management methods. In this review, salivary secretion alterations were identified and current treatment options were discussed.

Improved quantification of salivary gland scintigraphy by means of factor analysis
Introduction: In this study the automatic separation of oral and salivary gland activity and spontaneous secretion by means of factor analysis for quantitative salivary gland scintigraphy is introduced. Methods: After intravenous administration of 99mTc sodium pertechnetate, dynamic scintigraphy was performed. 20 minutes after tracer application 2 ml of lemon juice was delivered to stimulate t...
متن کاملInteraction of lithium and gentamicin in salivary gland by electron microscopy and protein and DNA measurement
The effects of gentamicin, lithium and combination of these drugs on ultrastructural morphology of rat submandibular glands were studied. Daily intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg/kg of gentamicin which causes chronic salivary gland toxicity, led to a marked decrease in gland's dry weight and total protein concentration but did not affect DNA content. Electron micrograph (EM) of submandibular ...
متن کاملRadiation Produces Irreversible Chronic Dysfunction in the Submandibular Glands of the Rat
The exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation during radiotherapy results in severe morphological and functional alterations of the salivary glands, such as xerostomia. In the present study we investigated the chronic effect of a single radiation dose of 15 Gray (Gy) limited to head and neck on rat salivary gland function (salivary secretion and gland mass) and histology. Results indicate th...
متن کاملDefective signalling in salivary glands precedes the autoimmune response in the non-obese diabetic mouse model of sialadenitis.
The spontaneous non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model of Sjögren's syndrome provides a valuable tool to study the onset and progression of both the autoimmune response and secretory dysfunction. Our purpose was to analyse the temporal decline of salivary secretion in NOD mice in relation to the autoimmune response and alterations in various signalling pathways involved in saliva secretion within...
متن کاملEffects of Radioiodine Treatment on Salivary Gland Function in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma: A Prospective Study.
Complaints of a dry mouth (xerostomia) and sialoadenitis are frequent side effects of radioiodine treatment in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients. However, detailed prospective data on alterations in salivary gland functioning after radioiodine treatment (131I) are scarce. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to prospectively assess the effect of high-activity radioiodine trea...
