Biostimulation of salivary glands in the prevention of oral problems related to diseases with reduced salivary volume

Background: Multiple test procedures were performed Lor patients with Xerostomia and oral saliva reduction, which promote a higher production of saliva in order to choose the most effective. Biostimulation will be carried out using different methods, such as with low-energy polychromatic and incoherent polarized light, which will stimulate cellular mitochondrial activity and Diode laser and comparing the results with two other types of salivary stimulators, such as lemon juice and chewing gum. Methods: Randomized study on a population of healthy adult subjects non-smoking and of both sexes of basal and stimulated salivary flow with: Low energy polycromatic and incoerent polarized light for five minutes; Diode laser 810 nm-lw defocused handpiece (distance 1 cm time 50 seconds); Chewing-gum for three minutes; Lemon Juice (one drop 0,04 mL minute for five minutes, and after subtracting 0,04 x 5). The salivary collection will be carried out at a distance of 2 hours from the consumption of food and beverages and also from home and professional oral hygiene. The collection technique is that of spitting in a container for five minutes. The measurements will be compared with the standard values of Leo M. Sreeley and Arijan Vissin. (0,25 mL/min < Vflu. sal-basale < 0,35 mL/min; mL < Vflu. sal-stimolata < 3 mL/ min.) Our interest will be mainly on the stimulation of the glandular secretion through with polarized light and Diode laser. Results: The use of Polarized light and Diode laser in patients with Xerostomia or saliva reduction give hope for positive and better results of salivary stimulation than using lemon juice and chewing-gum. Conclusions: It was identified the salivary stimulation method more effective and without side effects for the daily management and for prevention oral problem of the patient with reduced salivary. The use of low-energy polarized light and Diode laser use in this study do not have any known side effects, either short or long term and no risk of tissue damage. Therefore, there are no restrictions even for pediatric use.
