🛡️ 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
✅ How to clinically evaluate patients presenting with altered salivation
✅ Functional consequences of salivary imbalance on the oral microbiome, mucosa, and quality of life
✅ Differential diagnosis and practical assessment tools
✅ Treatment approaches: lifestyle, pharmacological, and supportive care strategies
✅ 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
