OBJECTIVES: Gargling mouthwash is a safe and convenient oral care intervention; it rinses the mouth and increases salivary flow rate. The effectiveness of lemon mouthwash in relieving xerostomia and increasing the salivary flow rate among hemodialysis patients has not been studied. Our study sought to analyze the effectiveness of varying concentrations of lemon in mouthwash solutions on xerostomia and salivary flow rate.
METHODS: A multi-concentration test was used to assess lemon mouthwash at 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, and 2.5% concentrations to determine the optimal concentration for relieving dry mouth and increasing salivary flow rate. Generalized estimating equations were used to analyze the differences between various concentrations of lemon mouthwash and baseline values.
RESULTS: In total, 44 patients were recruited. The 10% lemon concentration mouthwash was the most effective for increasing salivary flow rate, but the 5% and 2.5% were better accepted by the participants. Our findings can help establish intervention guidelines to relieve xerostomia among hemodialysis patients.
CONCLUSION: Our findings can help establish intervention guidelines to relieve xerostomia among hemodialysis patients.
