“…The application of topical sialogogues can be a useful alternative in the treatment of reversible xerostomia induced by drugs, as in spite of the fact that their therapeutic effects are more transitory; their side effects are also less powerful (44). Gambon et al, (45) reported that the application of citric acid might be increased risk of caries, as a consequence of the erosive action of these agents over the dentin. Anneroth et al, (46) reported that the use of chewing gums can cause similar bad effects.…”

Background: Dry mouth is usually caused by a reduced salivary flow or by changes in the biochemical composition of saliva. Objective: The aim of this paper is a review of the update literature of dry mouth. Methods: We search in pubmed in the past 10 years using the words «dry mouth», «causes», «symptoms», «treatment» and «dentistry». A large number of papers have been identified. Papers not relevant to the issue were removed reducing the entries to 56 only. Results: There are no clearly established protocols for the treatment of dry mouth in the literature. Most of identified papers were systematic reviews, non-systematic reviews, and observational studies. The most studied patients were Sjögren's syndrome and the irradiated patients. Treatments are focused on the etiology, prevention, symptomatic, local salivary stimulation and systemic treatments. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is no clear evidence for the causes and treatment of dry mouth, therefore the majority of the general dental practitioners refer most of the cases to appropriate specialist. Treatment must be individualized, salivary substitutes and mechanical stimulation techniques can be applied.

“…41 Recently a few in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro studies have been published on confections, confirming their erosive capacity. 10,[41][42][43][44][45] According to the study by Wagoner and co-workers, both original flavour and sour versions of candies were potentially erosive; generally the erosive capacity was directly proportional to the acidity of the candies investigated. 45 In a study by Brand and co-workers, the erosive potential of several lollipops and the protective effect of saliva were investigated.…”

“…46 Candies are also made in spray-form in Europe and some chewing gums are filled with acidic centers. 41,42 The seven candy sprays tested by Gambon and co-workers had an extremely low pH of 1.9-2.3. All these candy sprays had erosive potential and the effect may be even greater with children as their salivary volume is smaller than in adults.…”

“…All these candy sprays had erosive potential and the effect may be even greater with children as their salivary volume is smaller than in adults. 41 Also the longer exposure time to these acids may increase the risk of erosion even more. 47 The acidic filling of a chewing gum reduced the microhardness of both primary and permanent enamel in a study by Bolan et al Sour sweets have been found to be even more erosive than orange juice, which is a well-known erosive agent.…”
