• نبذة عن البـراءة

  A dry mouth hydrating device includes a generally U-shaped tray having a base and two parallel arms extending from the base; a cavity defined within the tray providing a reservoir for the placement of a liquid; a first aperture defined in the base of the tray, in communication with the cavity; and tubing provided between the first aperture and the cavity for allowing the liquid to flow out of the cavity at a desired rate. The tray is adapted to surround the upper teeth of the wearer and to be retained within the oral cavity along the dental arch between the lips and gums. Once positioned on the upper teeth of the wearer, liquid can drip from the cavity over the tongue of a user wearing the device for treating or preventing xerostomia. A second, resealable aperture may be defined in communication with the cavity to allow the cavity to be refilled.
