“…Besides mucosal lubrication and tamponing effect it helps to taste the food and to form the alimentary bolus, starting the digestion process [10]. Thus hyposalivation is associated with oral function, nutrition, and oral health-alterations in tasting, speaking, swallowing and chewing and also a higher risk for dental caries development and periodontal disease [20].…”

Sjögren's Syndrome (SS) is one of the three most common autoimmune diseases in the world, which affects the exocrine glands, specifically the salivary and lacrimal glands. Primary SS (pSS) particularly affects only the exocrine glands, while secondary SS is associated with other systemic autoimmune pathologies. SS is characterized, histopathologically, by an inflammatory lymphocytic infiltrate that interferes with the normal gland function. It affects 0, 5% of the world population, being more common in women (9:1 versus men), mainly around 50 years old, after the menopause. The medical dentist role is very important in the diagnosis of pSS, as in most cases he is the one who detects the first symptoms, in particular dry mouth or xerostomia. The primary syndrome doesn't have a painful development, being dry mouth and eye dryness the most prominent clinical characteristics. The majority of the oral evidences are consequence of salivary glands hypofunction: dental caries, periodontal disease or fungal infections. Along with hyposalivation and xerostomia communication disorders can occur like dysphagia and pharyngeal dryness leading to difficulties in speech and voice fatigue. These last ones have a negative impact in the patients quality of life although a large percentage don't seek professional help. There is a need for awareness of the voice disorders associate with pSS referring the patients to proper professional help. The treatment of pSS is empirical, symptomatic and aimed at dealing with the complications during the early-stages of the disease consisting of limiting the xerostomia and xerophthalmia damages.

“…Ample research shows that prevalence of BMS varies considerably, between 0.7% and 15%, depending on the population investigated 5,[7][8][9][11][12][13][14] . For example, one study found age-adjusted prevalence rates of 18.8 and 3.7 cases in women and men, respectively in 100,000 people 15 , while another investigation discovered that BMS occurs in 1 in every 1,000 subjects, mainly in women over 50 years old 16 .…”

Introduction: Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is characterized by a recurrent daily burning sensation with no evidence lesions in the oral mucosa. It is accompanied by subjective dry mouth and dysgeusia. The tongue is the most commonly affected site, but the condition also affects other sites in the mouth. Its etiopathogeny is multifactorial and its diagnosis is made by exclusion. Objective: This article reviews the literature about the epidemiology, etiopathogeny, and diagnosis of BMS in the past 15 years. Articles were selected from PubMed/MEDLINE, and included clinical assays, case reports, and reviews. We found 509 articles, and only 136 were chosen. The key words were: burning mouth syndrome (BMS), review, etiopathogeny, diagnosis. Conclusions: BMS remains an important diagnostic challenge, though the disease is considered a neuropathy characterized by damage to trigeminal peripheral nervous fibers, which triggers central sensitization. In addition to BMS and secondary BMS, it seems relevant to include complicated BMS, in which symptoms persist despite the elimination of local and systemic causes. BMS should be investigated by a transdisciplinary team that will take into account all aspects active in the mental and physical dimensions of the condition, in the most detailed way. Therefore, QST, imaging investigations, various evaluation scales of mental health and of the impact of BMS on quality of life as well as the investigation of sleep disorders and changes in circadian rhythm could be useful tools in the development of treatment strategies based on findings and observing the characteristics of each BMS patient in light of specifics of diagnosis.
