Context: Xerostomia and hyposalivation are associated with diabetes. Research is sparse regarding electrostimulation as a mainstream therapy for salivary gland hypofunction.
Objective: To clinically evaluate the effectiveness of transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy in stimulating whole salivary flow among patients with xerostomia and hyposalivation caused by diabetes mellitus.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate and compare salivary flow rate (SFR), pH levels, and taste perception in individuals with oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) versus healthy subjects.
- Ninety subjects were analyzed, with results showing a significant reduction in SFR and taste sensitivity in those with OSMF, especially in Stage II compared to Stage I.
- Overall, while the SFR and taste perception (especially to salty and sour flavors) were notably lower in advanced OSMF cases, the pH levels did not show significant differences between the groups.

Background: To assess and compare the salivary flow rate (SFR) and salivary pH among areca nut chewers, oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) patients and apparently healthy individuals.
Methods: A comparative study was conducted to assess and compare the SFR and pH among 135 outpatients (45 areca nut chewers + 45 OSMF + 45 control) at The Oxford Dental College and Research Hospital, Bangalore, India. Subjects were interviewed using structural proforma and Modified Schirmer strips and pH paper were implemented for assessing SFR and pH respectively.
