Abstract

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.
