口腔乾燥症，舌痛症，味覚異常に対するエコルデンタルハービィ^TMの使用経験

抄録

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), synthetic detergent is included in commercial dentifrice. SDS has protein denaturation action, and it is noxious for oral mucosa. Ecol dental herby^TM is a dentifrice manufactured from only natural plant materials without noxious compound. We evaluated the efficacy of Ecol dental herby^TM in 80 patients with xerostomia, glossodynia or dysgeusia. As a result, it had no effect on saliva flow rate, subjective and objective symptom of xerostomia and dysgeusia in use of 3 months. However, the pain of glossodynia was significantly improved. In addition, the adverse event was not found all over the periods of use at all. These results suggest that Ecol dental herby^TM might be effective for glossodynia.
