Hello, we are Jacobo Limeres Posse
and Pedro Diz Dios.
And we both work
in the Special Needs Unit
of the University of
Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
In this session, we will be looking
at the most relevant aspects
of Drooling and Sialorrhea.

In terms of salivary flow
xerostomia has traditionally
received
much greater attention
than hypersalivation.
In the search performed on the med
line that raised this past 6 of June,
we found almost 16,000 hits
for term xerostomia,
but only 1,865 for drooling,
and approximately
1,400 for sialorrhea.
As is to be expected,
drooling and sialorrhea certainly
are always much less interest
than all other topics
such as dental implants.

The consequences of drooling
toothpaste is strictly medical setting
as it leads
to social discrimination
against a population
that for various reasons
already has difficulties
regarding integration.
1:14
Salivary incontinence
refers to motor
discoordination of the orofacial
and palato-lingual musculature
which gives rise to the involuntary
loss of saliva through the mouth
due to hypertonia
of the perioral musculature
or to a dysfunction
of the swallowing mechanism,
which is known as
pseudo-sialorrhea or pseudo- drooling.

The plan that we're going
to follow in this webinar
is the same as the one used
in the study we published in 2009,
under the direction
of Professor Scully,
and the brilliant men who all those
who like to investigate this
subject in greater detail.
