Changes in Salivary Flow and Oral pH Following Use of Different Mouthrinse Formulations in Addition to Brushing Versus Brushing Only.
The inclusion of alcohol in the tested mouthrinse formulations did not affect salivary flow or pH compared with the alcohol-free mouthrinses, indicating that a single use of either an alcohol-containing or alcohol-free EO-containing mouthrinse does not contribute to oral dryness. Future trials investigating the long-term use of mouthrinses and their effect on salivary flow and pH will help to build on the current evidence base and inform clinical decision-making.
