Summary

This study tested whether a special Oral Care Kit could reduce dry mouth and improve oral health in 82 adults admitted to the intensive care unit. Participants used either the kit or standard artificial saliva every 12 hours for 60 hours. Researchers measured mouth dryness, saliva flow, and oral comfort to see if the kit worked better than standard care.
