Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the correlation between dyslipidemia in patients with oral dryness and the development of non-specific histopathological findings in their labial salivary gland biopsies. Methods: Thirty seven patients suffering from oral dryness (18 patients with dyslipidemia and 19 age-matched patients with normal lipid blood levels) underwent labial salivary gland biopsy. Total acinar area (TAA), acinar cell number, acinar lumen area (ALA), duct lumen area (DLA), area occupied by cells in acinus (AoCA), and area of one acinar cell (OAC) were calculated. Results: A significantly (P < 0.05) increased AoCA, OAC, and DLA in labial glands from patients with impaired lipid metabolism, compared to controls, were found. Conclusion: A positive relationship between dyslipidemia and morphological changes in labial salivary glands was obtained.
