Abstract
Objectives
Radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC) frequently results in irreversible salivary gland damage and persistent xerostomia. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a topical mucoadhesive disc containing xylitol in comparison to water with respect to (i) subjective symptom burden of nocturnal dry mouth and (ii) objective salivary flow parameters in post-radiotherapy HNC patients.
