Quiz on Management of Xerostomia in Geriatric Patients: What are the key treatment strategies?

Dear doctors, participate in this fun and exciting quiz on xerostomia. Xerostomia, or dry mouth, in geriatric patients is often caused by medications or systemic diseases. Management includes saliva substitutes, stimulants, and proper hydration. Addressing the underlying causes and adjusting medications can significantly improve patient quality of life. Participate now.

1. Xerostomia is primarily caused by aging itself rather than medication or systemic diseases in elderly patients.

2. Salivary gland scintigraphy is a useful diagnostic tool for evaluating salivary gland function in patients with xerostomia.

3. Pilocarpine is an FDA-approved treatment for xerostomia in patients with Sjögren's syndrome or following radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.

5. Artificial saliva products can effectively restore the protective functions of natural saliva in xerostomia patients.
