Abstract

Summary. Previous studies have shown in favor of the fact that the cause of xerostomia could be
such diseases as: asthenia, depression, vegetative-vascular dystonia, mental illness, states after stress.
At the same time, xerostomia worsened the psychological state of the patient, which, in turn, created
a vicious circle.
Taking into account the close connection of xerostomia with the psycho-emotional climate of the
patient and to objectify their psychological state, the authors used a questionnaire on the severity of
psychopathological symptoms (Simptom Check List-90-Revised - SCL-90-R) in 31 patients with
xerostomia.
The results of the work showed that patients with xerostomia tend to worsen their psychological
health.

Keywords:

xerostomia; dryness of the oral cavity; astheno-depersive syndrome, psychoemotional status, depression, asthenia.
