[Xerostomia in the elderly: causes, consequences and treatment possibilities of dry mouth].

Xerostomia is in most cases caused by a decrease or discontinuity of salivation (hyposalivation). A physiological decrease in salivary gland function is not the main cause of hyposalivation. According to recent publications the general state of health plays a major role. Probably the most common cause is the use of medication with a salivary secretion inhibitory side effect. Proper patient assessment is essential to reveal the cause and to provide optimal treatment.

[Preserving alveolar bone with submucosal hydroxyapatite].

In this article the use of hydroxyapatite granules to prevent alveolar bone loss after extraction of teeth is described. Twenty-six alveoli were treated in the mandible and the maxilla. The used method resulted in a delayed healing of the wound and loss of a part of the implants. On the account of the results it is recommended to close the extraction wound completely when using hydroxyapatite granules and to limit the indication to the mandible.
