Those who suffer from oral health conditions such as dry mouth (xerostomia) can find relief from over-the-counter muco-adhesive patch, according to a recently published study.

Chronic dry mouth impacts the quality of life and for some, can be debilitating.

The study found that chronic dry mouth sufferers can now get a statistically significant reduction of mouth dryness from a new time-released muco-adhesive patch (OraMoist Dry Mouth Patch), compared with the leading oral rinse which has been on the market for nearly two decades.

Overall, patients with xerostomia treated with the muco-adhesive patch reported a statistically significant reduction in mouth dryness sensation with elevated salivary flow rate (150 percent) after just 30 minutes.

The study authors believed it to be clinically outstanding, since the product does not contain any cholinergic agonist-a drug often used to treat dry mouth.

OraMoist, a new time-released, non-drug formula, outperformed the mouthwash, one of the most often used delivery formats for treating dry mouth.

In fact, unlike dry mouth sprays, rinses or gels, which need to be applied frequently - sometimes every 20 minutes - OraMoist works to increase moisture and help restore a healthy oral environment for hours at a time, day or night, and can even be used by those with dental appliances, such as dentures.

It moistens and lubricates the mouth with time-released lipids, citrus oil and sea salt, while simultaneously stimulating saliva production and inhibiting bacterial growth and promoting oral health with enzymes and xylitol.
