| Popis: | A 56-year old man complained of oral dryness, impaired speech, eating and swallowing food. The past history and physical examination revealed that his current medication including tramadol, amitriptyline and simvastatin may cause his condition. Furthermore, a tendency to snoring and being stress possibly suggesting dry mouth would contribute the uncomfortable state. Investigations showed that the patient had true xerostomia without related systemic issues. Because of the complex reasons for the condition, a multidisciplinary approach was required in its prevention in order to achieve long-term stability. |
