ABSTRACT Xerostomia is one of the most common side effects after radiation therapy for treating head and neck cancers. Our objective was to evaluate the salivary flow in patients treated with Intensity-modulated radiotherapy with two samples: (a) Resting saliva and (b) stimulated saliva. We performed three salivary sample collections: At the beginning, during and immediately after radiotherapy. The results showed that there was a significant decrease in the whole resting (11.46%) and stimulated (15.06%) salivary flow values during the first 3 weeks of the radiotherapy (p = 0.0025, p = 0.0034 respectively).
