Popis: Wearing dentures can be an extremely uncomfortable experience for people with xerostomia. Despite several ingenious designs, the problem of combining saliva substitutes with a simple, effective, and readily cleanable dispensing system has not been satisfactorily resolved. The previous difficulties were analyzed and methods of overcoming them were devised. A new design for a reservoir denture is presented that maximizes capacity and is easily maintained by the wearer.
