“…Similarly, a comparison on salivary flow rates between pre-, peri-and post-menopausal women was done and no difference was found on the salivary flow of women using estrogen and those not treated [13]. As in other studies [7,14], salivary flow rates were higher in pre-menopausal women than in post-menopausal women.…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of hormone therapy on salivary flow in menopausal women. It is a case-control study involving 86 post-menopausal women. The case group consisted of 47 women undergoing estroprogestative or estrogen hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the control group consisted of 39 women who did not receive any HRT. All patients were submitted to a standard questionnaire, followed by total stimulated sialometry and determination of body mass index (BMI). The salivary flow was classified as follows: normal (1.0-3.0 mL/min), low (0.7-1.0 mL/min), and hyposalivation (<0.7 mL/min). The results were analyzed statistically by the chi-square test, logistic regression model, and linear regression (p < 0.05). The HRT group presented an association of protection, even after adjusting the analysis, for low salivary flow (Adjusted OR = 0.22; 95% CI = 0.05-0.88; p = 0.034), and hyposalivation (Adjusted OR = 0.30; 95% CI = 0.10-0.92; p = 0.036). The results suggest that estroprogestative therapy (β = + 0.53; p = 0.022) has greater influence on the increase of salivary flow than estrogen therapy (β = +0.35; p = 0.137). The study concludes stating salivary flow was influenced by HRT on the post-menopausal women studied.

Objective:The primary objective of this study is to estimate and secondary objective is to compare the salivary calcium levels, salivary parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in postmenopausal women with and without oral dryness (OD).Materials and Methods:A case-control study was carried out on 80 selected postmenopausal women. Salivary calcium concentrations were assessed through Semi Autoanalyzer by Arsenazo III reaction. The salivary PTH concentration was measured by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Severity of OD was assessed by a questionnaire through which the xerostomia inventory (XI) score could be measured. Statistical analysis of Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney test and Pearson's correlation was used.Results:There was a significant difference in mean values of both salivary calcium concentration and XI score in postmenopausal women with/without OD (P < 0.001). No statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) was found in salivary parathyroid levels in postmenopausal women in both groups. A positive correlation was found between the salivary calcium concentration and XI score in both case and control groups (P < 0.05).Conclusion:Severity of OD in postmenopausal women is associated with the high levels of salivary calcium. However, the correlation of severity of OD with PTH could not be established.

“…This has remained an enigma for the treating clinician, because visible pathological lesions or processes are usually not evident. Oral dryness might be due to undetermined qualitative changes in the salivary composition, an unbalance between the various salivary glands or changes in the mucosal sensory receptors 10 . In the current study, the salivary flow in both the case and control group of participants was statistically not significant (p > 0.05), but both groups showed symptoms of oral dryness.…”
