Efficacy of biotene and xerostom on salivary function, biomarkers, and caries risk in radiation-induced xerostomia: A randomized controlled trial.
Two salivary substitutes—Biotene and Xerostom—were compared against placebo in head and neck cancer patients with radiation-induced dry mouth. Both products improved saliva production, pH, protective proteins, and reduced cavity-causing bacteria, with Biotene showing slightly better results.
