Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to enumerate and describe the oral complications that are associated with salivary gland dysfunction. The significance of these oral problems and their related adverse impact on the patient's quality of life are presented. Palliative and therapeutic agents and regimens are discussed, and a suggested protocol for managing the deleterious oral sequelae of salivary gland dysfunction is outlined.Keywords
