Abstract:
:Salivary gland function is generally well-preserved in healthy older persons. Similar results are observed in the laboratory rat. Older people are, however, more likely to experience salivary disorders due to disease or its treatment. For many patients with remaining salivary gland parenchymal tissue, improved function may result from pharmacological therapy.
