[PMID: 36384887 PMCID: PMC9989781 DOI: 10.5115/acb.22.118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
An accessory submandibular gland is a rare variation. As such, there is limited literature regarding the embryology, anatomy, variations, clinical imaging, and pathology of the accessory submandibular gland. In this article, we review the existing literature on the accessory submandibular gland from clinical and anatomical perspectives. The goal of this review is to provide comprehensive knowledge of this variation which can be useful for oral and maxillofacial/head and neck surgeons, radiologists, and anatomists. Within this review, the embryologic origin as well as the anatomy of the accessory submandibular gland is detailed. Several imaging modalities which can be used to visualize the accessory submandibular gland are outlined as well as its variations. Lastly, this review investigates several reported clinical considerations regarding the accessory submandibular gland including sialoliths, Wharton's duct obstruction, and pleomorphic adenoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to identify all outcome domains used in clinical studies of xerostomia, that is, subjective sensation of dry mouth. This study is part of the extended project "World Workshop on Oral Medicine Outcomes Initiative for the Direction of Research" to develop a core outcome set for dry mouth. STUDY DESIGN A systematic review was performed on MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. All clinical and observational studies that assessed xerostomia in human participants from 2001 to 2021 were included. Information on outcome domains was extracted and mapped to the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials taxonomy. Corresponding outcome measures were summarized. RESULTS From a total of 34,922 records retrieved, 688 articles involving 122,151 persons with xerostomia were included. There were 16 unique outcome domains and 166 outcome measures extracted. None of these domains or measures were consistently used across all the studies. The severity of xerostomia and physical functioning were the 2 most frequently assessed domains. CONCLUSION There is considerable heterogeneity in outcome domains and measures reported in clinical studies of xerostomia. This highlights the need for harmonization of dry mouth assessment to enhance comparability across studies and facilitate the synthesis of robust evidence for managing patients with xerostomia.

Submandibular Gland Transplantation vs Minor Salivary Glands Transplantation for Treatment of Dry Eye: A Retrospective Cohort Study. Am J Ophthalmol 2022; 241:238-247. [PMID: 35640736 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajo.2022.05.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2021] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare submandibular gland (SMG) transplantation with minor salivary gland (MSG) transplantation for the treatment of different dry eye diseases (DED). DESIGN Retrospective clinical cohort study. METHODS A total of 73 refractory DED eyes were divided into 3 groups. Group A comprised 35 end-stage DED eyes that underwent SMG transplantation. Group B comprised 20 end-stage DED eyes with MSG transplantation. Group C comprised 18 non-end-stage DED eyes with MSG transplantation. Schirmer test (ST), tear break-up time (TBUT), corneal fluorescein staining (FL), and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were measured before and after surgery. RESULTS Hospital length of stay, length of operation, and hospital fee were significantly higher in group A than in group B or C. Eyes in group A showed the most severe DED disease, with preoperative ST, TBUT, FL, and BCVA of 0.36 mm per 5 minutes, 0.03 seconds, 10.97, and 0.11, respectively, which improved significantly to 20.23 mm per 5minutes, 1.74 seconds, 7.58, and 0.2 at >2-year follow-up. Group B had similar baseline data, and significant but limited improvement only in the ST (0.55 mm per 5 minutes to 3.79 mm per 5 minutes) and FL (11.10 to 9.58) after the operation. Group C had better baseline ST, TBUT, FL, and BCVA of 0.89 mm per 5min, 3.49 seconds, 1.83, and 0.81, respectively, which improved significantly (except for BCVA) to 9.35 mm per 5min, 9.08 s, 0.53, and 0.89 after MSG transplantation. CONCLUSION SMG transplantation could be recommended to treat end-stage refractory DED. MSG transplantation may provide satisfying results for refractory DED with relatively less severe impairment of the eye.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The involvement of minor salivary glands (MSGs) with fibrosis in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) pathology is a quite conceivable fact. However, very little attention has been given to the status of MSGs in OSMF. METHODOLOGY Total 53 cases of OSMF were recruited and demographic details, mouth opening, clinical oral dryness score (CODS), and buccal mucosal MSG flow rate were determined. The fibrosis around MSGs is categorized into three grades and compared with relevant clinicopathological parameters. RESULTS Out of total 53 OSMF patients, there were 15 patients in grade I MSG involvement with fibrosis followed by 24 and 14 patients in grade II and grade III, respectively. Grade I MSG involvement showed maximum mouth opening (32 ± 3.87 mm) followed by Grade II (19.85 ± 4.31mm) and Grade III (11.42 ± 5.21mm) and the differences between them were statistically significant. The CODS score was more in grade III (5.5 ± 1.09 mm) as compared to Grade II (4.04 ± 0.62 mm) and Grade I (2.46 ± 0.74 mm) involvement of MSG. The flow rate was more in grade I (8.02 ± 2.99 mm) as compared to Grade II (3.97 ± 1.09 mm) and Grade III (3.4 ± 0.87 mm) involvement of MSG. CONCLUSION The fibrosis associated with OSMF can affect the MSGs located at mucosal and sub-mucosal levels. The clinical determinants such as mouth opening, salivary flow rate, and CODS corroborate with the grading of the degree of MSG involvement with fibrosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcome and quality of life of IgG4-related sialadenitis (IgG4-RS) patients after submandibular gland (SMG) excision without immunomediate therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective review included patients with IgG4-RS who did not undergo further treatment following SMG excision. All patients diagnosed with IgG4-RS between January 1955 and December 2012 at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School of Stomatology, were enrolled. The main outcome measures included postoperative IgG4-RS progression rate and differences between patients with and without recurrent disease. The degree of subjective oral dryness was evaluated using the summated xerostomia inventory (SXI); the objective secretory function was assessed by whole saliva flow rate measurements. Serological findings were analyzed during the follow-up. RESULTS SMG excision was adopted in all of the 83 patients. The median follow-up period was 108 (range 7-396) months. Clinical progression was observed in 54.2% of cases. Patients with other organ involvement (OOI) indicated higher progression rate to a significant extent (P = 0.015, HR = 2.108). The annual progression rate was 20.7% in the group with OOI and was 14.1% in the group without OOI. All cases showed higher levels of serum IgG4; the level was in positive correlation with follow-up time when no therapy was added. 82.4% of cases experienced xerostomia after the surgery, and the degree of dry mouth in patients underwent bilateral resection was significantly more severe than those in unilateral resection. CONCLUSIONS Surgical excision of involved SMG cannot control the disease progression, which is not recommended for treatment of IgG4-RS. Differential diagnosis is crucial in order to prevent irreversible organ loss and relevant salivary gland dysfunction. Key Points • Surgical excision of involved SMG cannot control progression of IgG4-RS.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the lower labial minor salivary glands (MSGs) flow rate using fluorescein dye in healthy individuals and patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS).Methods: Thirty consecutive patients with SS (N = 15; mean age 35.7 years) and SJS (N = 15; 57.7 years), and their age- and sex-matched healthy controls (N = 40; mean ocular surface disease index (OSDI) = 6.1) had ocular examination and whole lower labial mucosa evaluation after ophthalmic fluorescein strip application under cobalt blue light. Analyzed parameters include average labial distribution of functional MSGs, their secretory flow rate, and comparison between healthy and diseased groups.Results: The mean salivary flow rate from the lower labial MSGs of normal individuals showed decade-wise decline (2.7 ± 0.29 μl/min, 2.6 ± 0.39 μl/min, 2.3 ± 0.6 μl/min, 1.9 ± 0.95 μl/min) with similar trend for the number of secreting MSG openings (38.7, 37.2, 30, 22). The mean OSDI score was 45.3 in SJS and 28.2 in SS group. Thirty eyes in each SS and SJS group had mean Schirmer I value of 1.5 ± 2.2 mm and 5.1 ± 4.4 mm. The mean lower labial salivary flow rate in SS group was 0.5 ± 0.28 μl/min, and 2.0 ± 0.95 μl/min in SJS group. When compared to normal, SS patients had a significant reduction in the flow rate (p < .00001); however, it was not significant for the SJS group (p = .28). The mean number of secreting MSG openings was reduced in both the groups compared to normal (SJS, 20.5; p = .01 and SS, 12; p < .0001). There was a significant difference between SS and SJS groups in terms of flow rate (p < .00001) and number of MSG openings (p = .001). The MSG flow rate and Schirmer values did not show any correlation in SS or SJS patients.Conclusion: The fluorescein-assisted evaluation of the lower lip can be used as a quantitative method for measuring the labial salivary flow rate in SS and SJS patients.

Abstract
AIMS To use minor salivary glands' flow rate (MSGFR) measurement in minor salivary glands (MSGs) autotransplantation for the treatment of severe dry eye disease (DED). METHODS MSGs autotransplantations were performed in 18 eyes (17 patients) with severe DED. MSGFR were measured before operation. The upper or lower lip with higher MSGFR was selected as the donor site. Buccal mucosa was the back-up in cases labial MSGs showing markedly decreased MSGFRs. Two pieces of salivary lobules with the covering mucosa were harvested and transplanted to the recipient beds prepared in both upper and lower lids. RESULTS The donor sites included lower lip in 12 eyes, upper lip in 5 eyes and buccal mucosa in 1 eye. Postoperative follow-up confirmed viable grafts in all cases. The overall subjective relief rate of DED symptoms was 58.8%, with Schirmer test values increasing from 0 mm to 4 mm (p<0.05). The mean preoperative MSGFR was 1.7 (range: 0.9-3.3) µL/min/cm2. ROC analysis indicated an outstanding discrimination power for preoperative MSGFR to predicate postoperative relief of DED symptoms (area under the curve (AUC)=0.948, p<0.01). The maximum sensitivity (100%) and specificity (72.7%) were reached at a cut-off of 1.785 µL/min/cm2. Patients with preoperative MSGFR >1.785 µL/min/cm2 showed greater improvement of Schirmer test values after surgery than those with MSGFR ≤1.785 µL/min/cm2 (p<0.05). CONCLUSION MSGs transplantation proved to be useful for treating severe DED. The amount of postoperative lubrication and the treatment effect were positively correlated with preoperative MSGFR. MSGFR measurement and donor-site selection should be critical steps before the operation.

Abstract
Objectives Recently, it was shown that the Regional Oral Dryness Inventory (RODI) could determine differences in dry-mouth perception at different intra-oral locations. The main aim of this study was to determine whether the RODI might help to discriminate between various causes of oral dryness in dry-mouth patients. The second aim was to ascertain whether the RODI could become an additional diagnostic tool in dry-mouth patients. Materials and methods Data were collected retrospectively from patients who visited a specialized saliva clinic. Salivary flow rates, Xerostomia Inventory scores, and RODI scores were extracted from the medical records. Patients were stratified into subgroups according to their health status. Results Five hundred twenty-eight patients participated in this study (mean age of 59.6 ± 16.0 years; 68.4% female). Specific patient groups differed with regard to the region of the mouth they experienced as the most and least dry. The posterior palate was the area perceived as most dry by controls and Sjögren patients. In patients using limited or multiple medications, it was the anterior tongue. RODI scores also differed significantly among dry-mouth patient groups: whereas controls and patients using limited medication had the lowest RODI scores and experienced less intra-oral dryness, Sjögren patients had the highest RODI scores. Conclusion Our use of the RODI questionnaire showed that perceived intra-oral dryness differed between the various dry-mouth patients. Clinical relevance The RODI can be a valuable clinical diagnostic tool in dry-mouth diagnostics, in which it can be used to discriminate between the various causes of oral dryness in patients.

Abstract
Purpose Saliva is integral to swallowing and necessary for oral health. Understanding saliva's origin and properties is important for swallowing assessment and management. Diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome (SS) can affect saliva negatively, often contributing to dysphagia. Our objectives are to (a) highlight saliva's fundamental role in swallowing, (b) provide a bibliometric overview of literature pertaining to SS pathophysiology and effects on saliva, (c) explore implications of salivary changes on swallowing and quality of life in SS and other populations, and (d) provide suggestions for systematic saliva assessment in practice. Method This tutorial reviews saliva production, composition, and involvement in swallowing within health and disease. Using rapid review methodology, we outline the effect of SS on saliva and describe SS etiology, diagnosis, and treatment. We discuss formal saliva assessments and a multidisciplinary approach. Results Saliva plays a vital role in swallowing, particularly lubrication, bolus formation, and oral health. SS affects the salivary glands altering salivary flow rate and composition. We identified 55 studies (N) measuring salivary changes, grouping them according to four strata demarcated by SS classification criteria updates. For some, xerostomia, dysphagia, and reduced life quality result. Formal saliva assessments include the Clinical Oral Dryness Score, Xerostomia Inventory, and Secretion Rating Scale. Multidisciplinary care is optimal for patients with salivary changes. Conclusion Understanding salivary changes in disease may enhance understanding of swallowing and inform dysphagia practice. Expanding swallowing assessments with formal saliva evaluations, and patient perspectives thereof, may aid in developing bespoke treatments, ultimately improving outcomes and quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The diagnostic utility of labial salivary gland (LSG) biopsy for IgG4-related sialadenitis remains undetermined. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether submandibular gland biopsy could be replaced by LSG biopsy for diagnosing IgG4-RS. PATIENTS AND METHODS Medical records of two groups of patients were reviewed. Group A contained 45 patients suspected to have IgG4-RS who underwent both SMG and LSG biopsies. Group B contained 25 patients who were clinically and pathologically diagnosed with Sjögren syndrome (SS). Biopsy samples were stained using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and immunohistochemical techniques and observed under an optical microscope. Relevant data describing histopathological characteristics were collected and analyzed. RESULTS SMG of IgG4-RS patients presented typical histopathological characteristics of fibrosis and IgG4-positive plasmacytic infiltration, while LSG showed varied characteristics. The sensitivity and accuracy of SMG for diagnosing IgG4-RS were greater than those of LSG (100% and 100% versus 55.3% and 75.7%, respectively, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Biopsy of SMG showed greater sensitivity and specificity, whereas LSG biopsy showed varied histopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics; thus, SMG biopsy cannot be replaced by LSG biopsy for diagnosis of IgG4-RS.

Treatment of immunoglobulin G4-related sialadenitis: outcomes of glucocorticoid therapy combined with steroid-sparing agents. Arthritis Res Ther 2018; 20:12. [PMID: 29382364 PMCID: PMC5791187 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-017-1507-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2017] [Accepted: 12/28/2017] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Immunoglobulin G4-related sialadenitis (IgG4-RS) is a newly recognized immune-mediated systemic disease. Despite its good response to steroid therapy, its treatment protocol is not standardized and the long-term outcome is controversial. The study was conducted to determine the short-term and long-term outcomes of IgG4-RS patients treated with glucocorticoids and steroid-sparing immunosuppressive agents, to analyze secretory function, serological and radiological changes in salivary glands and to assess the usefulness of serum IgG4 level as an indicator of disease activity. Methods IgG4-RS patients who were treated for more than 3 months were enrolled. Serological tests, salivary gland function assessment and computed tomography (CT) were performed before treatment and during follow up. The treatment outcomes in the short and the long term were evaluated, and the relationship between serum IgG4 level and salivary gland volume was analyzed. Results Glucocorticoids were used in all 43 patients and steroid-sparing immunosuppressive agents in 38 patients (88.4%). The follow-up period was 24.6 ± 14.9 months. Clinical remission was achieved in all patients after induction therapy. During short-term observation, salivary gland secretion significantly increased, and the serum IgG4 levels, the volumes and CT values of submandibular and parotid gland decreased significantly (P < 0.001). For long term, relapse occurred in 32.5% patients within 55 months in the regularly treated group, while all seven irregularly treated patients relapsed. However, the relapse-free survival curves were not significantly different between the steroid monotherapy and the combination therapy groups (P = 0.566). Submandibular glands, lacrimal glands, sublingual glands, nasal and paranasal cavity were commonly relapsing organs. In clinically stable patients, a serologically unstable condition occurred in 54.9% patients within 55 months and medication adjustment was performed accordingly. Volume changes in the submandibular and parotid glands were associated with serum IgG4 levels and time of follow up (R2adjusted = 0.905, P < 0.0001 and R2adjusted = 0.9334, P < 0.0001, respectively). Conclusions The combination of glucocorticoid and steroid-sparing agents could be effective for treating IgG4-RS, and restoring salivary gland function. Serum IgG4 levels could predict disease activity.

Interdisciplinary, Comprehensive Oral and Ocular Evaluation of Patients with Primary Sjögren's Syndrome. Sci Rep 2017; 7:10761. [PMID: 28883442 PMCID: PMC5589846 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-10809-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2017] [Accepted: 08/15/2017] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
A comprehensive evaluation of oral and ocular symptoms and findings in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) patients may provide valuable information for management. Medical history was obtained from female pSS patients, and sex- and age-matched non-SS patients with sicca symptoms (non-SS sicca controls) as well as healthy subjects without sicca complaints (healthy controls). Oral (Summated Xerostomia Inventory, SXI) and ocular (McMonnies Dry Eye questionnaire, MDEIS, and Ocular Surface Disease Index, OSDI) subjective complaints were recorded. Objective findings including clinical oral dryness scores (CODS), unstimulated and stimulated saliva secretion rates (UWS/SWS), Schirmer I test, tear osmolarity, tear film break-up time (TFBUT), and ocular surface staining (OSS) were determined. The pSS and non-SS sicca controls were extensively troubled by subjective dryness, while the pSS group had higher CODS, significantly lower saliva and tear secretion, shorter TFBUT and higher OSS than both control groups. Furthermore, candida counts were significantly higher in the pSS patients. In the pSS group, subjective oral dryness significantly correlated with ocular dryness (MDEIS: r = 0.5, OSDI: r = 0.413) and SWS was significantly correlated with Schirmer I (r = 0.419). The findings imply that interdisciplinary subjective and objective evaluation of patients with xerostomia and xerophthalmia not only have implications for patient care, but also may guide clinicians in differentiating between pSS and non-SS sicca patients.
