“…Frequent utilization of water alone is mentioned as capable of causing relief in patients with xerostomia (23) . Other strategies have also been reported, as shown in the literature (9)(10)(11)13,14) . It seems important to highlight that in this analysis, even though various oral structures were said to be affected with burning sensation and dry mouth, only one subject in G1 reported to "stop talking" in order to alleviate the burning sensation; this strategy was not mentioned in G2.…”

“…Burning sensation and/or dry mouth complaints are referred in the literature (2,10,15,17,19,25,26) , with a consequent negative impact in the individuals' quality of life (16,24) , including the social aspect as well (7,13) . In this study, complaints such as tiredness and struggle were reported in both groups, especially in the xerostomia group.…”

“…The role of saliva in the oral cavity ranges from lubrication of the mucosa to the gastrointestinal functions (12) . Saliva also plays a defensive role by means of bacterial clearance and cleaning of food particles, moistening and breaking food, helping to create bolus, facilitating mastication, swallowing and speech (13) .…”

“…Changes in saliva may produce symptoms such as xerostomia, the most common clinical manifestation of oral complaints, due to its association with several factors (13)(14)(15) . It is described as a subjective sensation of dryness in the mouth, which does not necessarily reflect hyposalivation, which is a reduced flow of saliva (16) .…”

OBJETIVO: Investigar as queixas das funções orais em presença dos sintomas de ardência e secura bucal e analisar as alterações da fala em seu aspecto articulatório. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados 66 indivíduos com idade entre 30 e 78 anos, divididos em três grupos: grupo ardência bucal, grupo xerostomia e grupo sem sintomas bucais. Foram realizadas entrevistas, exame clínico da cavidade oral e gravação da fala, com utilização de fichário evocativo. RESULTADOS: A característica comum nos dois primeiros grupos foi a presença do sintoma de secura bucal. Na localização dos sintomas, o grupo xerostomia apresentou maior quantidade de estruturas afetadas pelo sintoma. As queixas mais referidas por esse grupo foram cansaço e força na fala e força e engasgos à deglutição. A queixa de força foi significativa, na comparação com grupo de ardência bucal, com aumento do sintoma provocado pela função de fala. Dos sujeitos que se queixaram de boca seca, como sintoma principal, ou associado, a maioria apresentou ruídos durante a fala. O grupo xerostomia apresentou maior ocorrência desse ruído. Não foram evidenciadas alterações fonéticas nos grupos de sintomas bucais. CONCLUSÃO: Das queixas envolvendo as funções orais, falar e deglutir com força foram as mais referidas pelos indivíduos do grupo xerostomia. Observou-se a presença de estalidos na fala da maioria dos sujeitos com o sintoma de secura bucal. Apesar das sintomatologias apresentadas e do número de estruturas orais afetadas, não houve evidência de alteração fonética nos indivíduos com sintomas bucais.

“…These numbers become even more relevant associated information to another panorama: the face of an acute clinical, neurological, infectious or systemic, elderly who have difficulty swallowing can become fragile, a condition that increases the complications rate as aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition and dehydration [3,19,24,25]. On the other hand, the Brazilian Ministry of Health published in 2010 a booklet of "Healthy eating for the elderly" [26], providing basic guidelines of care in the purchase, preparation and storage of food and other measures that assist in food.…”

The purpose of this study was to compare the presence of difficulties self-reported of chewing and swallowing by active elderly with a group of university adults. In this analytical study of transversal cohort 186 subjects divided into two groups: 93 active elderly from community center for health and leisure activities for people over 60 years old and 93 university adults. The age of the elderly was 63 to 93 years old (mean 72.3) and adults 17 to 45 years old (mean 24.8). Respondents selected by screening answered questions regarding their dental conditions, use of prosthetic implants and difficulties in chewing and swallowing in varying consistencies. The mean of teeth present among adults was 30.6 against 8.7 of the elderly. In the elderly group, there was edentulism in 28% of respondents. None of them refers to the presence of all teeth. Already in the adult group, edentulism has not been reported and nearly 40% of them reported the presence of all teeth. Thirty-one point two percent for the elderly reported difficulties chewing against 1.1% of adults. Swallowing difficulties were statistically prevalent in the elderly group: 21.5% thin liquid, 4.3% viscous liquid and 16.1% dual consistencies against adults group; 39.8% solids and 34.4% saliva compared to 1.1% of adults and 40.8% pills versus 9.7% of adults group. These results support the idea that prevention programs, early detection and warning of nutrition and physical consequences of the problems swallowing should be implanted in institutions whose focus is serving the active elderly.
