PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple inspection kit for xerostomia. SOLUTION: Determinate quantities of iodine and starch are spotted at specific positions of filter paper for paper chromatography, and a salivation stimulant, nicotine or capsaicin, is applied to an end of the filter paper to prepare filter paper for xerostomia diagnosis. The filter paper is put in the mouth of an examinee to cause the paper to absorb saliva. Thereafter, the amount of stimulus saliva secretion is measured from the position of a spot taking color with hydrogen peroxide solution. Or else, iron chloride (III) as a coloring agent is previously applied to the filter paper. The amount of stimulus secretion saliva is measured with capsaicin or nicotine applied to an end of test filter paper, the capsaicin or nicotine having a salivation stimulating action, allowing xerostomia to be diagnosed more surely. Further, determination is speeded and facilitated by using iron chloride (III) in place of hydrogen peroxide solution as a color-taking agent since coloration proceeds simultaneously with the absorption of saliva.
