“…In an uncontrolled extension stage of this study, the positive effects remained after 11 months of use. At the end of the trial, other subjective parameters (oral discomfort, speech), frequency of awakening at night and salivary flow rate (both, unstimulated and mastication-stimulated) were better than at baseline [50].…”

“…Een andere verklaring kan gewenning aan de mechanische stimulus van de splint zijn, welke na een initiële stijging een daling van de speekselsecretie laat zien (Jensen et al, 1991). Verschillende onderzoeken naar intraorale elektrostimulatie laten een toegevoegd effect van een activerende splint zien in vergelijk met de puur mechanische stimulatie van een placebo op zowel subjectieve parameters als de speekselsecretie (Strietzel et al, 2011;Alajbeg et al, 2012). Deze onderzoeken zijn in overeenstemming met de resultaten van de afgenomen vragenlijsten bij de in deze casus beschreven patiënt, hetgeen suggereert dat de Saliwell GenNarino ® een positief effect op xerostomie lijkt te hebben.…”

“…Salivary glands produce saliva as result of an electrical stimulus coming from the solitary nucleus in the medulla via facial (VII) and glossopharyngeal (IX) nerves [44], therefore relief of xerostomia can be achieved with the external stimulation of such nerves through the electrostimulation of oral mucosa. Such stimulus enhances the production of saliva by salivary glands, with a consequent decrease of oral dryness of patients [2,20,44,47]. The main features and relevant references of the products used as salivary substitutes are given in Table 10.9 which classifies them in terms of their mechanism of action and physical form.…”
