Exploratory Study on Effect of Whitening Agent With Emulsion Gel in Xerostomic Population
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Crest Whitening Emulsions for Xerostomia. Completed, enrolled 25 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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.
