Staz Slyunnoi

Salivary stasis is a pathological condition in the dentofacial area, which is characterized by the absence of saliva and its rare secretions through the corresponding ducts. Stasis is very rare and is often one of the symptoms of a serious oral disease.

As a rule, the reasons for the formation of salivary stasis are physiological and pathological in nature - for example, due to calcium deficiency in the body, infectious damage to the salivary glands, after injury or surgery. In some people, stasis can be caused by diseases of the digestive system or neurological disorders.

The main symptoms of salivary stasis are quite often similar to the symptoms of many other oral diseases - burning and dry mouth, bleeding and swelling of the gums. Over a long period of time, pain may appear in the neck or chest area; this is due to irritation of the papillae of the tongue and nerves in the perimaxillary area, and increased pressure in the chest organs.

The resulting stasis of saliva does not go away on its own and without proper treatment can lead to deterioration in human health and the development of complications against the background of many related diseases. Diagnosis of stasis consists of examination, assessment of concomitant pathologies and laboratory test results. Treatment involves the use of conservative methods and, if necessary, surgical intervention.

For preventive purposes, it is necessary to properly care for the oral cavity, maintain hygiene, eat right and give up bad habits. It is recommended to seek help from a dentist in the early stages of the disease in order to avoid possible undesirable consequences and deterioration of the patient’s physical health.
