Article Synopsis
- Hyposalivation, or reduced saliva production, poses significant oral health risks for independent elders, affecting oral functions and encouraging unhealthy microbial growth.
- A study involving 53 elders (65+) found that lower salivary flow rates were linked to higher levels of gingival issues, tongue coating, and prevalence of oral Candida, a type of fungi.
- Non-albicans Candida species were particularly common among denture wearers, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of hyposalivation to prevent adverse health effects in this age group.
