Evaluation of the concordance of sialometry and salivary glands scintigraphy in dry mouth patients
INTRODUCTION: Many diagnostic tests are used to evaluate dry mouth patients, especially the ones with Sjögren's Syndrome, to whom these tests are part of classification criteria for scientific studies. AIM: Thus, the concordance between results of sialometry and salivary glands scintigraphy was...

description | INTRODUCTION: Many diagnostic tests are used to evaluate dry mouth patients, especially the ones with Sjögren's Syndrome, to whom these tests are part of classification criteria for scientific studies. AIM: Thus, the concordance between results of sialometry and salivary glands scintigraphy was evaluated; if positive, it would enable the choice of one or the other for diagnosis. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Seventy-two dry mouth patients were divided into non-Sjögren's Syndrome group, primary Sjögren's Syndrome group and secondary Sjögren's Syndrome group. The concordance among sialometry and scintigraphy results was evaluated by Kappa test. RESULTS: It was observed that their concordance was equal or near to zero. CONCLUSION: It is not possible to make a choice between these tests and both should be performed. |
