- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors related to xerostomia in patients with systemic diseases, and the results were analyzed throught-test, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression analysis. There were 62 respondents (56.9%) who reported dry mouth and the season of the mostsevere dry mouth was reported to be the highest during winter. According to the analysis made in the relationship of xerostomia with the awarenessof general health and health behavior, the group that understood their own health poorly, had more than two kinds of diseases, and had beenadministered more than two kinds of daily medication showed higher xerostomia. Also, those who experienced desperation, had high dryness inother parts of the body, and heavy snoring were more aware of xerostomia (p<0.05). According to the analysis made in the relationship betweenxerostomia and awareness of oral health state, the group that understood their oral health poorly and had pain in the oral mucous membrane andhalitosis was more aware of xerostomia (p<0.05). According to the analysis made in the relationship between quality of life and xerostomia, thegroup that showed high level of problem in daily living and stress and were self-conscious and felt tense due to halitosis reported more xerostomia(p<0.05). Finally, xerostomia was most correlated with consciousness of the eyes of others due to halitosis followed by the number of transferredsystemic diseases and stress level. Based on such results, xerostomia was understood to be an obstacle in maintaining favorable social life andhealth. Since xerostomia was shown to be related to the number of transferred systemic diseases, the dental professions are asked to furtherimprove their understanding not only on oral health but also systemic diseases. Therefore, these efforts are expected to prevent xerostomia andreduce various complications caused by xerostomia.
