Saliwell Solution

Five Million Euros have been invested to bring a solution to dry mouth. For dry mouth sufferers Saliwell’s innovative patented devices bring welcome relief by restoring natural saliva production through electro-stimulation. Saliwell devices apply low energy levels of electrical stimulation to the oral mucosa (oral tissue surface) close to the nerves controlling salivary function (see figure 1). This leads to a higher level of saliva secretion. The stimulation signals are not sensed by the patient. This is the most efficient means to relief xerostomia, as natural saliva not only relieves dryness; it also contains essential dental decay-fighting factors and other components critical for oral health.

Saliwell devices include a built-in micro-processor with embedded software, wireless remote control communication module, an independent power source and stimulation electrodes. The custom made remote control (figure 2) turns "ON" and "OFF" the electrical stimulation

As opposed to the available treatments, Saliwell offers a permanent, effective, comfortable, cost effective and side-effect-free treatment for xerostomia. Saliwell devices prevent the deleterious consequences of oral dryness and create a revolutionary improvement in its treatment and hence, in patients’ quality of life. Saliwell devices reduce the expenses which patients and the medical services spend today to treat dry mouth and their damaged dentition.
