Salivary gland hypofunction (objective evidence of diminished salivary output) and xerostomia (the subjective sensation of dry mouth) are common conditions. Patients with salivary gland hypofunction and altered saliva composition are at increased risk for developing caries, oral fungal infections, oral mucosal changes and debilitating symptoms, swallowing problems, and diminished or altered taste. The most prominent cause of xerostomia and salivary gland hypofunction is the intake of medications interfering with the nervous regulation of salivary secretion. Radiotherapy for cancer in the head and neck region often leads to permanent and severe xerostomia and salivary gland hypofunction due to degeneration of the salivary gland tissue involved in the radiation field. Sjögren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disease affecting exocrine glands, causes permanent xerostomia and hyposalivation due to immune-mediated structural changes in the salivary glands. Ageing may also be associated with structural changes in the salivary glands that can influence the functions of saliva. This article reviews the aetiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of conditions with salivary gland hypofunction, common salivary gland diseases (mucous cysts and sialoliths) and salivary gland tumours.

Xerostomi och hyposalivation – subjektiv och objektiv muntorrhet – är komplexa tillstånd som kommer att bli allt vanligare, i takt med att befolkningen blir allt äldre. Denna artikel granskar etiopatogenes, kliniska manifestationer, diagnos och hantering av tillstånd med xerostomi, hyposalivation, vanliga salivkörtelsjukdomar (oral mucocele och salivkörtelstenar) och salivkörteltumörer.
