Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a highly prevalent health condition. Its systemic changes cause oral manifestations that may or may not be associated. Objective: To investigate the presence of xerostomia in patients with diabetes. Materials and methods: This study consisted of a series of cases with 22 diabetic patients of the Family Health Strategy (FHS), neighborhood of Dehon, city of Tubarão (SC). A socio-demographic questionnaire was applied, the perception of dry mouth assessed, and the salivary flow measured at rest and after stimulation. To evaluate the association was adopted p<0.05. Results: 77% of patients had dry mouth feeling symptoms compatible with a diagnosis of xerostomia; of these, only 65% had stimulated salivary flow below the reference values (≤0.7ml/min) compatible with hyposalivation also demonstrating the association between xerostomia and hyposalivation. No statistically significant differences occurred between patients using xerostomic medication and decreased salivary flow when stimulated (p=0.15) and dry mouth sensation (p=0.30). Conclusion: The observed diabetic patients have a high prevalence of xerostomia, however, without association with any drug.

IntroduçãoO trauma pode ser definido como o conjunto das perturbações causadas subitamente por um agente físico de etiologia, natureza e extensão variadas, podendo interferir nos diferentes segmentos corpó-reos. Estas perturbações podem ocorrer com uma frequência importante na pele da face, nos ossos faciais e nos dentes por estarem mais expostos às agressões devido à sua projeção corporal anterior 1 . O traumatismo facial é considerado um problema de saúde pública relacionado a morbidades, perdas de função 2 desfigurações 2,3 . A etiologia e incidência do trauma facial variam de um país para outro devido à existência de diferentes fatores locais, culturais e sociais 2 . Intimamente ligado ao trauma facial está o trauma dental, com alta prevalência, e por isso tem sido considerado um problema mundial 4 . Os casos de avulsão dentária geram a perda do órgão dentário, uma mutilação muitas vezes irreparável, pois causam o deslocamento por completo para fora de seu alvéolo, ocorrendo rompimento total do ligamento periodontal e do feixe vásculo--nervoso, onde a rapidez no tratamento favorece o prognóstico 4,5 .
