Salivary flow and xerostomia in patients with type 2 diabetes

Background: Saliva is secreted by the major and minor salivary glands. There are a number of physiological factors that can reduce this secretion such as age, sex, body weight, number of teeth present in the mouth or time of day. This decrease may also be caused by the use of certain drugs, radiotherapy for head and neck cancer, chronic rheumatic diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome and other systemic disorders such as diabetes mellitus (DM). Objective of this study was to investigate the effect of type 2 DM on salivary secretion and its relation to the sensation of xerostomia. Methods: Forty-seven patients with type 2 DM and 46 healthy individuals, aged 40-80, participated in the study. Sam…

Relationship between the oral cavity and cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome

The components of the human body are closely interdependent; as a result, disease conditions in some organs or components can influence the development of disease in other body locations. The effect of oral health upon health in general has been investigated for decades by many epidemiological studies. In this context, there appears to be a clear relationship between deficient oral hygiene and different systemic disorders such as cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome. The precise relationship between them is the subject of ongoing research, and a variety of theories have been proposed, though most of them postulate the mediation of an inflammatory response. This association between …

Estudio clínico de la correlación de los niveles de glucosa en sangre y saliva; y la importancia de las citoquinas proinflamatorias en la enfermedad periodontal de los pacientes diabéticos

OBJETIVO: Analizar el estado bucodental de un grupo de individuos con diabetes mellitus tipo 2, observando si la enfermedad periodontal de estos pacientes guardaba relación con los niveles de ciertos mediadores inflamatorios. Además, se estudió el uso de la glucosa salival como monitor de la glucemia en suero. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Se comparó un grupo de 47 pacientes diabéticos con 46 controles de similar edad y sexo. Se les realizó un estudio oral completo valorando su índice CAOD, su estado periodontal y el estado de sus mucosas orales. Se comprobó su frecuencia de cepillado y la sensación subjetiva de xerostomía que presentaban. Además, se recogieron muestras de sangre venosa y saliva, en a…
