Filter by:Salivary gland hypofunction, or dry mouth, is a damaging oral condition that affects salivary gland production. Absence of saliva causes bad breath, dental decay, increased plaque accumulation, dry lips, mouth sores, and the inability to retain dentures or removable protheses. This study will determine if patients with dry mouth have different periodontal health than patients without dry mouth. Additionally, this study will examine if patients who have their periodontal maintenance appointments solely at a periodontal speciality clinic have different periodontal health than patients who alternate their appointments between a specialty office and their general dental office.
An increased incidence of dental caries in association with poorly controlled diabetes has also been reported, Xerostomia (dry mouth) has been reported to be a common complaint of patients with diabetes, Without adequate saliva production, both hard and soft tissues of the mouth can be severely damaged and become more susceptible to infections. This 9 week, cross-over group, randomized, single center, study will evaluate the efficacy of HA formulation in alleviating dry mouth in type 2 diabetic patients.
The study evaluates the effectiveness of an Intervention Bundle on Thirst Intensity and Dry Mouth among Patients admitted in ICUs. Patients were randomized into two groups - Experimental and Control group. Experimental group received intervention Bundle whereas control group didn't receive any intervention. Usual care was continued in both the groups.
This randomized control trial aims to investigate the efficacy of oral moisturizing jelly in head and neck cancer patients with xerostomia.
The objective of this study was to prove the bioequivalence of Roxane Laboratories' Cevimeline 30 mg under fasted conditions
The objective of this study was to prove the bioequivalence of Roxane Laboratories' Cevimeline 30 mg under fed conditions
The purpose of this study is to determine whether continuous use of edible, gel-based artificial saliva in cancer patients with dry mouth problems will reduce signs and symptoms of dry mouth and improve quality of patients' saliva.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Fluoride varnish and Casein Phospho-Peptide Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) containing paste on oral symptoms and salivary characteristics in patients under chemotherapy.
The main objectives were: 1) To determine the efficacy of both cevimeline and pilocarpine in the secretion of saliva in patients with xerostomia, and 2) To compare the side-effects between the treatment for xerostomia with cevimeline and with pilocarpine.
The goal of this proposal is to investigate the effectiveness of a Medical College of Georgia patent pending formulation of natural plant extracts on patients with xerostomia. The major component of this formulation is green tea extract with a defined composition of polyphenols. Epidemiological studies suggest that phytochemicals in green tea possess beneficial effects on autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Thus far, there is little evidence to indicate any marked and direct immunomodulatory effect of green tea on T or B lymphocytes. However, there is considerable evidence for green tea polyphenols (GTPs), major phytochemicals found in green tea extract, having properties consistent with effects on cells of tissues that would be protective towards local inflammation.
