Abstract

Xerostomia, or dry mouth, is a common condition that can significantly impact a patient's oral health and quality of life. Prosthodontic management plays a crucial role in alleviating the symptoms of xerostomia and improving oral function. This case report presents a novel technique for salivary reservoir fabrication with a removable lid to manage xerostomia in a patient with severe salivary gland dysfunction. The technique involves creating a customized reservoir using biocompatible materials to store artificial saliva and provide moisture to the oral tissues. The removable lid allows the patient to conveniently refill and clean the reservoir, enhancing patient compliance. The case report details the step-by-step process of the fabrication technique and the positive outcomes in terms of improved oral comfort and function for the patient with xerostomia.
