dc.description.abstractThe aim of the study is to compare the palliative efficacy of two saliva substitutes (Sinspeek and Xerostom) in patients during radiotherapy for cancer of the head and neck. This crossover randomised controlled clinical trial was carried out on twenty-five patients with malignant tumours of the head and neck, following four weeks of radiotherapy at tygerberg hospital. The benefit of saliva substitutes to ameliorate the effects of xerostomia is well established and proper advice and access to relevant preparations is essential.en_US
