Xerostomia, more commonly called dry mouth, affects an
estimated 20 percent of adults worldwide and can severely
diminish one's quality of life. Dry Mouth, the
Malevolent Symptom: A Clinical Guide relies on evidence-based
research to provide an introductory primer on oral dryness and the
modalities available to treat it. The book describes the
varied etiology of the disease, but emphasizes clinical
protocols and step-by-step procedures for diagnosis and treatment
planning.
Dry Mouth is a user-friendly manual guiding clinicians
through identifying and managing this common condition. Causes
including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, systemic diseases,
polypharmacy, and the natural progression of aging are discussed in
conjunction with the clinical symptoms and signs associated with
each one. Multiple avenues for treatment are presented,
highlighting salivary stimulation and supplementation techniques,
pharmacologic aids, and critically required oral therapy. Although
intended primarily for the professionals that treat those affected
by xerostomia, Dry Mouth may also be of interest to
sufferers of this condition.
