Introduction: Xerostomia, a subjective dry mouth feeling, may be associated to several diseases and systemic disorders incluiding Sjögren syndrome. Study design: Clinical prospective. Material and method: We conducted an eight Sjögren syndrome patients study with xerostomia complains. They were asked to answer a group of questions related to commonly xerostomia signs and symptoms and had, in addition, a sialometry performed in order to assess wether any correlation could be found between both kinds of observations. Results: In spite of variable degrees of oral symptoms present in all eight patients, saliva flow decrease could only be documented in three. Conclusion: Therefore, in our observation, no correlation could be found between oral symptoms magnitude and amount of saliva secreted in Sjögren patients.
