“…This datum may point that both BMS and dry mouth seem to affect mainly the population aged 50 years or around (1,15,24) . Regarding patients' clinical history, the symptomatic groups showed similarities in may aspects, which agrees with the reviewed literature (2,(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)11,16,22,23) . Some studies, however, found variations especially regarding the intensity of the symptom (4,22,24) .…”

“…Xerostomia is the main manifestation of this syndrome (19) . Dry mouth can affect the oral mucosa as a whole (20) , but subjects also state that structures such as the lips (21) and the oropharynx (16,22) are also affected. The symptom can occur continuously (23) , with periods of considerable discomfort (20) .…”

“…It is described as a subjective sensation of dryness in the mouth, which does not necessarily reflect hyposalivation, which is a reduced flow of saliva (16) . Among the various causes of xerostomia, Sjögren Syndrome is the systemic disease that most affects the saliva.…”

“…Complaints referring to xerostomia are usuallly identified by means of questionnaires (15)(16)(17)19,23,25) . Some studies try to investigate objectively the impairment of the oral functions related to dry mouth and/or hyposalivation (17,28) ; however, few studies have reported the association of this symptom and speech (29,30) .…”

OBJETIVO: Investigar as queixas das funções orais em presença dos sintomas de ardência e secura bucal e analisar as alterações da fala em seu aspecto articulatório. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados 66 indivíduos com idade entre 30 e 78 anos, divididos em três grupos: grupo ardência bucal, grupo xerostomia e grupo sem sintomas bucais. Foram realizadas entrevistas, exame clínico da cavidade oral e gravação da fala, com utilização de fichário evocativo. RESULTADOS: A característica comum nos dois primeiros grupos foi a presença do sintoma de secura bucal. Na localização dos sintomas, o grupo xerostomia apresentou maior quantidade de estruturas afetadas pelo sintoma. As queixas mais referidas por esse grupo foram cansaço e força na fala e força e engasgos à deglutição. A queixa de força foi significativa, na comparação com grupo de ardência bucal, com aumento do sintoma provocado pela função de fala. Dos sujeitos que se queixaram de boca seca, como sintoma principal, ou associado, a maioria apresentou ruídos durante a fala. O grupo xerostomia apresentou maior ocorrência desse ruído. Não foram evidenciadas alterações fonéticas nos grupos de sintomas bucais. CONCLUSÃO: Das queixas envolvendo as funções orais, falar e deglutir com força foram as mais referidas pelos indivíduos do grupo xerostomia. Observou-se a presença de estalidos na fala da maioria dos sujeitos com o sintoma de secura bucal. Apesar das sintomatologias apresentadas e do número de estruturas orais afetadas, não houve evidência de alteração fonética nos indivíduos com sintomas bucais.

The importance of lubrication between oral surfaces provided by the salivary film is most acutely apparent when it is disrupted, a prevalent consequence of salivary gland hypofunction experienced with aging, a symptom of certain diseases, or a side effect of some medical interventions. Sufferers report difficulty with speech and oral food processing and collectively is detrimental to quality of life. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is widely employed as a successful biocompatible boundary lubricant in engineering and biomedical applications. It is hypothesized that the immobilization of PEG to biological materials such as oral epithelial cells and tissue can mimic the salivary film and provide durable relief from the symptoms of mucosal dryness. To do so, PEG is functionalized with a sugar binding lectin (wheat germ agglutinin) to enhance epithelial adhesion through lectin-sugar interactions. Retention and lubricity are characterized on an ex vivo oral tissue tribology rig. WGA-PEG coats and retains on mucin films, oral epithelial cells, and porcine tongue tissue, and offers sustained reduction in coefficient of friction (COF). WGA-PEG could be developed into a useful topical treatment for reducing oral friction and the perception of dry mouth.
