“…The only previously recorded dentate study using a reservoir was a patient who wore an acrylic palatal reservoir retained by cribs. 7 In a parallel development at another institution recently an Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) resin bite guard was developed to deliver K-Y jelly. 9 The reservoir areas were on the buccal surface of the mandibular device and the lubricant was released onto the buccal mucosal surfaces.…”

Patient preferences in a preliminary study comparing an intra-oral lubricating device with the usual dry mouth lubricating methods

Objective:To compare an intra-oral device to relieve oral dryness with the other methods of lubricating the mouth at night. Design: Multidisciplinary single blind randomised cross over study. Setting: The subjects were drawn from patients attending a dry mouth clinic. Materials and methods: Thirty-four dentate subjects attended on five occasions at intervals of 4 weeks. At the first visit the teeth were scaled and impressions were recorded. The device was fitted either on the second or the fourth visit. At all visits samples were taken of the resting and stimulated saliva for volumetric analysis and the dry mouth score recorded. Data were collected from the lubrication timings and the questionnaire. Results: Ten water, nine saliva substitute and ten sugar-free chewing gum lubricators completed the study. There were 27 female and two male subjects with an average age of 62 years. Nine out of 10 of those lubricating with chewing gum preferred wearing the device (P = 0.037). After the device wearing period the subjects' self assessment of mouth dryness (P = 0.056), speech (P = 0.009) and swallowing (P = 0.031) were more favourable when compared with the alternative lubrication with 66% preferring the intra-oral device to their alternative method of lubrication. Conclusions: The majority of the subjects preferred wearing the device at night compared with their normal method of lubrication. Subjects' perception of dryness, speech and swallowing became closer to the clinician's assessment after wearing the device.The number of complaints by patients who have xerostomia is on the increase, especially amongst the elderly. 1 This paper describes one method of assisting patients who have this condition.A dry mouth can result from several causes, dehydration -1* Part time Senior Demonstrator;

“…Small orifices of about 2 mm diameter in the reservoir are used to fill it and subsequently to allow delivery of the lubricant into the mouth. Several researchers [6][7][8][9] have designed reservoirs using complete dentures for radiotherapy patients, the longest period of wear being 30 months. The criticisms of the reservoir dentures are: a) too bulky,…”

Xerostomia is a common complaint found often among older adults. Dry mouth has multiple oral health consequences and affects quality of life. It can produce serious negative effects on the patient's quality of life by affecting dietary habits, nutritional status, speech, taste and tolerance to dental prosthesis and increasing the risk of oral infection, including candidiasis and susceptibility to dental caries, periodontal disease and tooth loss. Saliva protects oral mucosa and teeth against harmful substances, lubricates the mouth to facilitate chewing, swallowing and speech, and reduces tissue trauma. Presence of adequate amounts of saliva within denture and tissue interface is essential. Without enough saliva, a denture will inadequately adhere to tissues, partly through loss of surface tension. Sometimes, the cause may easily be eliminated but, in many instances, it is not possible, and the condition is persistent and often progressive. There are several approaches to manage dry mouth. In this article, a palatal reservoir design for upper complete denture and lower cast RPD with salivary reservoir has been described, which completely satisfies the patient need for long time.
