Background/aim: The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of Turkish version of the Xerostomia Inventory XI in patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS).
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional survey study design and analysis were used to assess the reliability and validity of the Xerostomia Inventory XI. A total of 69 patients with pSS (5 males, 64 females; mean age = 54.81 ± 8.77 years) were included. The Xerostomia Inventory XI (TR) was applied twice at an interval of 15 days. The test-retest reliability was assessed with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and the internal consistency of multiitem subscales by calculating Cronbach’s alpha values. The correlations between ESSPRI, basal and stimulated salivary flow (BSF-SSF), Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life-UK (OHRQoL-UK) Questionnaire were evaluated to determine the construct validity.
Results: The ICC value for test/retest reliability of the Xerostomia Inventory XI (TR) was 0.993. The internal consistency was 0.869. There were low to high correlations between Xerostomia Inventory XI (TR) and ESSPRI, BSF, SSF, OHIR-14 total and OHRQoL-UK total.
Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Xerostomia Inventory XI was found to be clinically valid and reliable to be used in clinical evaluations and rehabilitation interventions in patients with pSS.

Purpose: To explore the effects of personalized oral stents in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment.
Methods: Totally 108 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with IMRT at Nanjing Gaochun People's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected. Using a random number table method, the patients were divided into experimental group (n=54) using personalized oral stents and control group (n=54) using simple mouthpieces.

Article Synopsis
- Radiation-induced xerostomia (RIX) is a severe side effect for head and neck cancer patients, leading to the need for effective management strategies.
- A systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture in treating RIX, involving searches across six databases and analyzing eight clinical trials with 1273 participants.
- The findings showed that while acupuncture improved patient-reported xerostomia scores compared to standard care, it did not significantly outperform sham acupuncture or enhance salivary flow rates, and no serious adverse effects were noted.

Article Synopsis
- Thirst and dry mouth (xerostomia) are common and troubling symptoms for patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), and there are currently no reliable tools specifically for German patients to measure these issues.
- The study aimed to validate the German versions of two measurement tools: the Thirst Distress Scale for Patients with Heart Failure (G-TDS-HF) and the Xerostomia Inventory (G-SXI), using a questionnaire completed by 371 patients with CHF.
- Findings showed that both instruments are valid and reliable, with the G-TDS-HF having a two-factor structure related to symptom occurrence and distress, and the G-SXI demonstrating a single-factor structure, indicating a solid foundation for future research on their responsiveness and

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an oral somatosensory training (OST) program in improving oral somatosensory dysfunction (OSD) in cancer survivors, comparing it to conventional exercises.
- A total of 108 participants with altered taste were divided into two groups: one receiving OST and the other conventional training, with various assessments conducted pre- and post-intervention.
- Results indicated that those in the OST group experienced significant improvements in sensory functions, taste acuity, and muscle strength, as well as a reduction in the severity of symptoms related to dry mouth and swallowing difficulties compared to the conventional group.
