Multiple pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures that have been tested in previous studies in order to improve xerostomia in patients suffering from that complaint which were based on the stimulation of the salivary gland flow. Salivary glands can be stimulated to produce saliva mechanically (for example, by chewing gum, using different formulated mouthwashes or acupressure) or through medications (such as pilocarpine, cevimeline, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor antagonists) Overall, the available interventions do not appear to provide an effective, comprehensive and long-term management of xerostomia. This has strengthened the need for further investigation of other interventions for the management of xerostomia As Egypt is considered a low-income country, therefore, the general properties of ideal saliva substitutes to be used should be inexpensive, edible, hydrating, safe-to-swallow but retainable in the mouth.
Given the importance of the oral health status of in patients suffering from dry mouth with the associated problems, and the limited availability of proper remedy for xerostomia in the Egyptian market. This study is designed to evaluate the efficiency of different and natural treatment as a mix of (Manuka honey -green tea) mouth rinse in management of xerostomia.
