Abstract

Oral dryness – enigma to clinicians. The emergence of oral dryness and its unrelated to
salivary flow rates raised many questions over the hypothesis of oral dryness in post
menopausal women. The current review focussed on qualitative changes in saliva. The
parameters included calcium, Parathyroid hormone and Serum Estrogen. The effect of
hormone replacement therapy in alienating the oral symptoms was also reviewed.
