APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF XEROSTOMIA |
摘要 |
A vibrating driver assembly is used to vibrate a mounting means, on which a stimulator member is positioned. The stimulator member is a flexible rubber (elastomeric) member which is positioned in operation so as to contact tissue within the vicinity of a salivary gland or a salivary duct of the human body or the salivary gland/duct directly. The vibration of the stimulator member has such a frequency and amplitude and the stimulator itself has such a configuration and arrangement as to result in a vibration of the salivary gland or salivary duct sufficiently and of such a character to produce a significant increase in the production of saliva and/or movement of the saliva from the salivary gland into the mouth.
