OraMoist Dry Mouth (xerostomia) Study Results:
"Treating Dry Mouth-Xerostomia Utilizing an Adhesive Oral Tablet As Compared
With an Oral Rinses"
SUMMARY: Patients suffering from dry mouth (xerostomia) preferred treatment with
OraMoist to treatment with a leading oral rinse. One group of patients suffering
from dry mouth (xerostomia) was treated with OraMoist, the other with the
leading mouthwash.
Results included:
- 70% of those treated with OraMoist reported they would use the product in
the future, compared to 30% of those using the mouthwash.
- Patients treated with OraMoist showed an increase of saliva production
from .11 ml/2 min to .19 ml; the patients treated with mouthwash increased
only from .09 ml to .10 ml.
- Both groups reported a statistically significant reduction in xerostomic
sensation, but the moisturizing effect of OraMoist lasted longer than that of
the mouthwash.
