Exploratory Study on Effect of Whitening Agent With Emulsion Gel in Xerostomic Population

Xerostomia

Xerostomia, is a subjective sensation of dryness of the mouth. There are more than 700 medications that can lead to the salivary hypofunction that results in dry mouth. This study will investigate a semi solid cohesive gel (referred to as Whitening Gel) that has the primary marketed purpose of teeth whitening. We theorize that the whitening gel's retention in the oral cavity is longer than rinse forms and this is likely to promote the flow of saliva by stimulating taste buds which could alleviate the sensation of dryness in the oral cavity. This will be a single center, two visit study investigating the effectiveness of dryness in the oral cavity, whiteness of teeth, and teeth sensitivity after one week's use of whitening agent.

Effect of Photobiomodulation for Patients With Xerostomia

PhotobiomodulationLow-Level Light Therapy

Hyposalivation is a condition represented by a reduced salivary flow and may include symptoms such as mouth dryness (xerostomia), pain, loss of taste,dysphagia, and dysphonia, all of which greatly affect an individual's quality of life. The aim of the present study was analized the effects of low-level light therapy irradiation (photobiomodulation PBM) on salivary gland function in patients with hyposalivation

Efficacy of Traditional Persian Medicine Preparation Versus Artificial Saliva for Radiation Induced...

XerostomiaHead and Neck Cancers

Head and neck cancers(HNC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Xerostomia is one of the most common side effect of radiation therapy among patients with HNC. Mouth dryness significantly impairs patients' quality of life (QOL). HNC.Regarding to traditional use of A. digitata and M. sylvestris in addition to known their beneficial effects in recent studies, we decided to design a randomized, controlled clinical trial to try to evaluate efficacy of the these herbs in QOL of HNC patients with radiation induced xerostomia

Effect of a Self-adhering Material in Dental Hypersensitivity

Dentin SensitivityXerostomia

Aim: To compare the desensitizing capacity of Vertise Flow™ (VF), a new self adhering material, in the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity (DH) in patients who are xerostomic due to radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Methods: A total of 17 patients were selected for the study. The study was conducted as a split-mouth randomized clinical trial comparing: 1) VF 2) Universal Dentin Sealant (UDS), 3) Clearfil Protect Bond (CPB) and 4) Flor-Opal® Varnish (FOV). Basal and stimulated salivary flow was recorded for each patient according to the method described by Sreebny. The pain experience was generated by a cold stimulus directly to a sensitive tooth surface and assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The response was recorded before the application of the materials (PRE-1), immediately after (POST-1), at 1-week (POST-2), 4-weeks (POST-3) and 12-week controls (POST-4).

Green Tea Lozenges for the Management of Dry Mouth

XerostomiaSjogren Syndrome1 more

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.

Efficacy Study of a Ginger and Cardamom Gelatin for Xerostomy in Terminally Ill Patients

XerostomiaSalivary Gland Diseases1 more

Xerostomia or dry mouth is the subjective feeling that there is not enough saliva in your mouth. It's a frequent symptom in terminally ill patients receiving palliative care, reducing their quality of life and comfort. Usual recommendations in these patients are good oral hygiene and mouthwashes, ad libitum consumption of camomile and lemon juice infusions, and ad libitum sucking of cold (e.g. ice, ice cream) or citric products (e.g. pineapple). Other xerostomia treatments such as artificial saliva and pharmacological drugs (e.g. pilocarpine) are less used in terminally ill patients due to cost and secondary effects. The purpose of this randomized parallel clinical trial is to determine if a new recipe of gelatin with orange juice, cardamome and ginger is more effective in the control of xerostomia than the usual treatment of camomile infusion with lemon juice against. Treatments will be consumed ad libitum during one week. The main outcome is the subjective assessment of dry mouth at end of treatment.
