Development and evaluation of a novel artificial saliva for xerostomia: physicochemical, microbial, and safety profiles

Xerostomia significantly impairs oral function and quality of life. Existing artificial saliva formulations often exhibit acidic pH or rely on synthetic preservatives such as parabens, which may limit their suitability for long-term use. This study aimed to develop a pH-neutral a...

Effectiveness of probiotic supplementation in reducing halitosis among older adults: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial
