Relationships between age, drugs, oral sensorial complaints and salivary profile.
TL;DR: A reduction in salivary function and altered composition are age related and a compensatory capacity that prevents OSCs appears to exist in elderly patients who do not use drugs, but drugs were found to have an extensive effect on Oscs.

Sialochemical and gustatory analysis in patients with oral sensory complaints
TL;DR: The merit of the current study stems from the fact that it suggests for the first time a salivary-related local neuropathic mechanism for oral sensorial complaints, both with respect to the biological background of these complaints and to the possible therapeutic modalities that might be offered to suffering patients.

Saliva Analysis in the Clinical Setting: Revisiting an Underused Diagnostic Tool
TL;DR: Saliva analysis is a useful, worthwhile diagnostic tool because saliva collection is noninvasive, easy, and inexpensive and may be performed by the patient with no need for the involvement of medical personnel, if so desired.

Age-related changes in unstimulated salivary function and composition and its relations to medications and oral sensorial complaints
TL;DR: Reduction in salivary function and altered composition are age-related; when drugs are not involved, a compensatory capacity which avoids OSC apparently exists; in contrast, the effect of drugs on OSC is extensive.

Age-Related Changes in Salivary Antioxidant Profile: Possible Implications for Oral Cancer
TL;DR: Salivary oxidative stress-related changes in the intimately related saliva and oral epithelium compounded with higher viscosity of saliva may explain the higher prevalence of oral cancer in the elderly population.
