“…At the oral level a qualitative and quantitative decrease of saliva (known as xerostomia and hyposalivation, respectively) occurs naturally or pathologically, resulting in a loss of oral humidification, and from a nutritional point of view, causing problems in chewing, swallowing, tasting and talking. 17 The study developed by Espinoza et al, 10 revealed that 25% of the EP are edentulous. In this characterization, no differences were found when comparing the two groups, so that the edentulism can be classified as a sequella and not as a condition worsened by the institutionalization process.…”

Chile is experiencing a process of demographic aging with an increase in the number of elderly people, a percentage of which resides in Long-term Establishments for the Elderly (LEE). However, there is little information on the reality of the elderly in these long-term care facilities, so this study was conducted to compare the epidemiological profile of the prevalent oral pathologies as well as chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), of institutionalized versus noninstitutionalized elderly subjects. Seventy-six institutionalized and forty-three non-institutionalized subjects were examined intraorally, and their clinical health record, gender and age were obtained, according to inclusion/exclusion criteria. The results indicate that female gender is the most common, with an average age of 78.5 year, with those 80 years old and above comprising the predominant group. The most prevalent oral lesions within the institutionalized group were denture stomatitis and irritative hyperplasia, while in the noninstitutionalized these two lesions were found less frequently. As for the presence of xerostomia, there was no difference between the groups. The most common condition in both groups was total maxillary and mandibular edentulous, with the latter variable present more frequently in the institutionalized group (p<0.05). The predominant NCD for both groups were arterial hypertension, arthritis-osteoarthritis and diabetes mellitus (p>0.05), and depression was the most prevalent NCD in the non-institutionalized group (p<0.05). This study provides valuable information on the epidemiology of elderly´s oral lesions and NCDs to inform the decision-making process of public health policies.

“…Dentro de las complicaciones asociadas a MO, se encuentra la sensación de boca seca, disgeusia, odinofagia y dificultad para hablar, entre otros. Por lo tanto, la utilización de elementos naturales como manzanilla y linaza pueden contribuir a contrarrestar estas complicaciones y así mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes oncológicos y aquellos que también sufren xerostomía por otras causas, Morales et al (2015) describen la evidencia científica respecto a que el extracto de manzanilla disminuye los signos clínicos de MO en pacientes irradiados o en terapia con metotrexato, así como el dolor en úlceras recurrentes orales.…”

RESUMEN: La mucositis oral (MO) es la reacción secundaria aguda más frecuente en la cavidad oral y tracto gastrointestinal en pacientes oncológicos sometidos a quimioterapia o radioterapia de cabeza y cuello que incide negativamente en la calidad de vida del paciente. Su tratamiento requiere de un manejo multidisciplinario con el objetivo de minimizar la incidencia y severidad de esta patología. El desconocimiento parcial respecto de su etiopatogenia imposibilita la realización de protocolos para el manejo de esta complicación. Si bien existe evidencia científica respecto a las alternativas de prevención y tratamiento, éstas dependen de la evaluación individual que haga el clínico con cada paciente. A continuación, se presenta una revisión bibliográfica actualizada de la literatura científica publicada y se discuten aquellos aspectos más relevantes en torno a la prevención y tratamiento de la mucositis oral.
