Salivary Antimicrobial Peptide in Patients With Dementia Before and After Clinical Oral Rehabilitation Programme: A Randomised Controlled Trial
Our clinical oral rehabilitation programme reduced the level of salivary HTN-5, increased salivary flow rate and enhanced OHRQoL in dementia patients. Furthermore, changes in salivary flow rate, HTN-5 level and BD-2 level were associated with improvements in patients' OHRQoL.
