Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of commercially available mouthwash Oraconti® CL2 on the improvement of dry mouth. A total of 15 dry mouth patients who consulted the Dry Mouth Clinic at Tsurumi University School of Dentistry were recruited. Both subjective dry mouth symptoms and objective dry mouth signs were examined. Dry mouth symptoms were evaluated by medical questionnaire, and dry mouth signs were evaluated by measuring oral mucosa fluid volume using oral moisture checking device Moisture Checker for Mucus®. The effect of mouthwash Oraconti® CL2 was compared with the effect of water gargling as a control. As a result, the mouthwash improved both the symptoms and signs of dry mouth.
