− | ==Introduction==
| |
− | *Painful conditions in the mouth lead to increase in salivary secretion and possibly also to failure to swallow the [[Oral Cavity - Salivary Glands - Anatomy & Physiology#Saliva|saliva]] produced,
| |
− | **e.g. in [[Cavity & Gingiva - Pathology#Foot and Mouth disease|foot and mouth disease]] in cattle there is an acute painful stomatitis and this is accompanied by the hypersalivation and partial anorexia.

− | *Xerophthalmia and xerostomia due to lymphocyte-mediated destruction of exocrine glands of [[Oral Cavity - Salivary Glands - Anatomy & Physiology|salivary glands]].
| |
− | *Both those terms refer to cessation of production of tear or [[Oral Cavity - Salivary Glands - Anatomy & Physiology#Saliva|saliva]] production respectively.
| |
− | *May be primary autoimmune or part of another autoimmune condition.
| |
− | *Causes of xerostomia:
| |
− | **Dysautonomia
| |
− | **Infectious sialadenitis
| |
− | **Neoplasia
| |
− | **Salivary amyloidosis
| |
− | **Head and neck radiation
