Catastrophic hyposalivation significantly increases susceptibility to dental caries in dentate individuals and may cause the expression or exacerbation of other oral diseases/disorders as well. The effect of subcatastrophic hyposalivation on susceptibility to caries or other diseases/disorders is less well understood. The aim of this study (part of a larger study on the prevalence of hyposalivation) was to determine the prevalence and to measure the association of oral pathologic conditions with unstimulated and stimulated whole saliva flow rates.Only 6.3% of all study participants had significantly diminished unstimulated (
