Introduction
Xerostomia is a subjective complaint that may or not be related to decrease in salivation. It should be always investigated because it is frequently associated to systemic diseases, including Sjögren's syndrome. Despite there is not a universal standard to identify hiposalivation, we consider that sialometry is an important tool for treatment evaluation through serial exams in the same patient. After the analysis of several sialometry techniques, we opted to adapt and to standardize the Bolwig and Rafaelsen method (1972) for being the most practical and reliable method among all. We pursue the large-scale use of this method.
Aim
To evaluate the results of a systematized sialometry method.
Material and method
10 subject were evaluated, 5 assymptomatic and 5 with xerostomy. The subjects were submitted to a silalometry pre and post stimulus. The results were corroborated.
Results
All individuals presented informed salivary thru measurable by the method.
Conclusion
The method is easy and trustworthy to factory.
