🛡️ Master Saliva-Related Disorders

Salivary dysfunction—too little or too much—can severely impact oral health and patient quality of life. In this comprehensive session, Dr. Marina Douka-Alexiou, a leading European expert in oral medicine, will guide participants through the clinical complexities of xerostomia (dry mouth) and ptyalism (excessive salivation).

These conditions are not just symptoms—they’re multifactorial syndromes that demand a thoughtful diagnostic process and personalized management strategies. Whether arising from medication, systemic disease, neural dysfunction, or local conditions, salivary irregularities affect everything from mucosal health to speech, swallowing, and daily comfort.

✅ Etiologies of xerostomia and ptyalism—systemic, pharmacologic, neurologic, and local
âś… How to clinically evaluate patients presenting with altered salivation
âś… Functional consequences of salivary imbalance on the oral microbiome, mucosa, and quality of life
âś… Differential diagnosis and practical assessment tools
âś… Treatment approaches: lifestyle, pharmacological, and supportive care strategies
âś… Special considerations in geriatric, oncology, and autoimmune populations

🔹 Understand the full spectrum of salivary disorders and their implications
🔹 Learn how to evaluate and manage dry mouth and hypersalivation confidently
🔹 Gain insights from a Europe-based expert with real-world clinical experience
🔹 Improve your ability to distinguish transient symptoms from chronic disease
🔹 Certificate of Completion for all attendees
🔹 Elevate patient care in oral medicine, prosthodontics, and general dentistry

📢 Don’t let salivary disorders slip under the radar—join this focused, evidence-based session to sharpen your diagnostic skills and improve patient outcomes.
