Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- saliva flow rate [2 months]
Unstimulated salivary flow rate. Pathological < or 1.5 ml/ 15 minutes.
- Xerostomia [2 months]
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for xerostomia severity (0 cm: no xerostomía , 10cm : very severe xerostomia ).
- Interleukins [2 months]
Analytes in saliva IFN-(pg/ml), IL-10(pg/ml), IL-1b(pg/ml), IL-4 (pg/ml)and IL-6 (pg/ml)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Oral Exam [4 months]
Caries number, natural teeth number
- Periodontal evaluation [4 months]
periodontal( gingival index, bleeding index, clinical attachment level, probing depth,number dental implant .A periodontal probe will be inserted between the tooth and the gum in the gingival sulcus and a measurement of the pocket depth will be measured by a trained dentist in all subjects according to American Academy of Periodontology classification of periodontal diagnosis
