Resumo
Objetivos: Determinar e correlacionar o fluxo salivar total, xerostomia e sintomas de ansiedade e depressão em pacientes com Síndrome da Ardência Bucal (SAB), comparando com um Grupo controle igualado em idade e sexo. Métodos: Foram selecionadas 25 mulheres com SAB e 25 sem SAB, no Serviço de Estomatologia – UFPB. Determinou-se o Fluxo Salivar em Repouso (FSR) e o Fluxo Salivar Estimulado (FSE), presença de xerostomia e aplicou-se Inventário de Depressão de Beck (IDB) e Inventário de Ansiedade Traço-Estado (IDATE). Foi realizada análise estatística descritiva e aplicados testes de Mann-Whitney, qui-quadrado e coeficiente de correlação de Pearson, considerando p < 0,05. Resultados: A média de idade no Grupo SAB foi 59 ± 13 anos e no controle 56 ± 11 anos. A média do FSR no Grupo SAB foi de 0,41 ± 0,27 mL.min–1 e, no controle, de 0,45 ± 0,35 mL.min–1, sem diferença estatisticamente significante (p = 0,907). A xerostomia foi referida por 64% das pacientes SAB e por 32% do Grupo controle, com diferença estatisticamente significante (p = 0,011). Quanto à intensidade dos sintomas analisados, no Grupo SAB, 32% das pacientes apresentavam depressão e, no controle, apenas 12%, com diferença estatisticamente significante (p = 0,001). A ansiedade elevada ou muito elevada foi observada em 40% das pacientes com SAB e em 16% do Grupo controle, havendo diferença estatisticamente significante (p = 0,048). Conclusão: Considerando-se os resultados, pôde-se concluir que: a taxa de fluxo salivar do Grupo SAB foi normal; a xerostomia foi mais prevalente no Grupo SAB e não teve relação com o fluxo nem com a condição psicológica; as pacientes com SAB apresentaram maior prevalência de sintomas de depressão e ansiedade do que as do Grupo controle.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine and correlate salivary flow rate, xerostomia and symptoms of anxiety and depression in patients with Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS), comparing with matched control Group. Methods: It was selected 25 women with BMS and 25 without, on the Oral Medicine Service/UFPB. Unstimulated salivary flow rate (USFR), stimulated salivary flow rate (SSFR) and xerostomia presence were determined. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were applied. Mann-Whitney, chi-square tests and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data and were considered significant with P < 0.05. Results: The mean age of BMS Group was 59.2 ± 13.5 years old and 56.6 ± 11.7 years old on the control Group. The USFR average for the BMS Group was 0.41 ± 0.27 mL.min–1 and control Group was 0.45 ± 0.35 mL.min–1, no statistically significant difference was found (p = 0.907). The xerostomia was reported by 64% of the BMS patients and 32% on the control Group, with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.011). 32% of the patients with BMS and 12% of controls showed depression, with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.001). The high anxiety level was observed on 40% of patients with BMS and 16% on control Group, occurring a statistically significant difference (p = 0.048). Conclusions: Considering the results it is possible to conclude: the xerostomia was most prevailed on the BMS Group, and had no relationship with the salivary flow rate neither with the psychological conditions; BMS patients show more prevalence of depression symptoms and anxiety than control’s Group patients.
