Abstract
Xerostomia, or dry mouth, is becoming an increasingly common problem among patients visiting a dentist, accouting for approximately 40%. Dry mouth makes it difficult to chew food normally, reduces the perception of tastes, and causes constant anxiety about the condition of the teeth. It is important to note that this affects not only the physical health, but also the psychoemotional state of patients. Based on a literature search in the PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, Google Scholar, eLIBRARY databases, it was determined that in original peer-reviewed studies, from 30% to 50% of cases of xerostomia are detected against the background of various pathological conditions of the periodontal tissues and oral mucosa: gingivitis, periodontitis, potentially malignant, allergic, autoimmune, infectious and neurogenic diseases of the oral mucosa, which often develop not only as independent diseases, but also as concomitant pathologies in patients with various general somatic diseases, including neurogenic and psychodepressive genesis. It was established that at present there is no protocol for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with xerostomia against the background of psychodepressive disorders. It is also necessary to study in detail the state of the pro- and antioxidant system of oral fluid and correct its state in this category of patients, since these problems significantly affect the quality of life of patients, affecting their social interactions and daily activities, therefore, a more detailed study of this issue is required.
