9 STRUCTURE OF THE SALIVARY GLANDS DUCT SYSTEM : Intercalated Striated Excretory
10 SALIVARY GLAND ACINI: Serous Mucous Mixed
11 DISEASES OF THE SALIVARY GLANDS I. Developmental Anomalies - Aberrant Salivary Glands - Aplasia and Hypoplasia - Accessory Ducts and diverticuli II. Obstructive Conditions - Sialolithiasis - Mucocele - Necrotizing sialometaplasia III. Inflammatory Disorders Viral - Mumps - H.I.V. Associated Bacterial - Sialadenitis
12 IV. Neoplastic Diseases Benign Malignant Epithelial Mesenchymal V. Degenerative Conditions Sjogren’s Syndrome Ionizing Radiation VI. Xerostomia
13 SIALOLITHIASIS
14 MUCOCELE
15 RANULA
16 NECROTIZING SIALOMETAPLASIA It is caused due to trauma resulting in ischemia of the salivary gland.
17 INFLAMMATORY DISORDERS Characterized by painful bilateral/unilateral swellings of the affected glands esp. while eating food or opening the mouth. MUMPS Caused by Paramyxovirus. H.I.V. Associated Seen along with Kaposi’s Sarcoma and Lymphoma. BACTERIAL SIALADENITIS Caused by Staphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus viridans .
18 ALLERGIC SIALADENITIS Allergic reaction to certain drugs like Phenothiazine and Sulfisoxazole . SARCOID SIALADENITIS It is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. TREATMENT : Symptomatic/Antibiotics/Surgical drainage.
19 DEGENERATIVE CONDITIONS Ionizing radiation : Progressive fibrosis and parenchymal degeneration of the salivary gland. Sjogren’s syndrome :
20 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SALIVA Average Daily flow : 1-1.5 litres Normal pH : 6-7 Normal flow rate Unstimulated : >0.1 ml/min Stimulated : 0.2 – 7 ml/min Residual volume of saliva : 0.8 ml
24 FUNCTIONS OF SALIVA COATING AND LUBRICATION FOOD DIGESTION BUFFERING ACTION MAINTANENCE OF TOOTH INTEGRITY ANTI BACTERIAL ACTION
25 PROSTHODONTIC IMPLICATIONS
The physical factors consists of : Adhesion. Cohesion. Surface tension. Capillary attraction.
27 CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT STIMULATION PHYSIOLOGIC Taste Dehydration Age Mastication Emotion
PATHOLOGIC CONDITIONS THAT INCREASE SALIVATION Digestive tract irritants Ill fitting dentures/inadequate interocclusal distance Vitamin deficiency Trauma from surgery
29 PATHOLOGIC CONDITIONS THAT DECREASE SALIVATION - Senile atrophy of the salivary glands - Irradiation therapy - Dieseases of the brain stem - Diabetes mellitus/ insipidus - Acute infectious diseases
XEROSTOMIA CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS
PROSTHODONTIC IMPLICATIONS - Retention is affected. - Frictional irritation to the denture supporting tissues - Difficulty in mastication and deglutition. - Patient may discontinue the use of dentures
MANAGEMENT Denture use limited to short periods. Nutritious diet/soft and moist food. Chewing sugarless gums and frequent liquid intake. Good denture hygiene to be maintained to prevent candidiasis. Lowering the dosage or changing the drug.. Salivary substitutes.
SALIVA RESERVOIR DENTURE
SIALORRHEA Caused due to an increased flow of blood through the salivary glands and their excessive stimulation. Management Correction of the dentures Reassurance /psychotherapy of the patient
36 SIALOGRAPHY VARIOUS RADIOGRAPHIC APPEARANCES
37 Salivary substitutes/Artificial saliva Artificial saliva comes in several forms Oral spray Oral rinse Gel They are: Carboxymethylcellulose {CMC} based . Glycerin Minerals Xylitol
38 CONCLUSION Mechanism of retention is a highly complex one ,under the control of numerous factors. Chief among them are the forces related to the wetting of the denture and the surface tension, adhesive and cohesive characteristics of the saliva, without which denture wearing becomes a painful process. Thus saliva plays a profound role in the maintenance of oral health in the denture wearing patient .
