Salivation is a biologically controlled process that self-regulates and has a crucial purpose in digestion, taste, hygiene and comfort in humans. However, this process can become disrupted, temporary or permanently, leading to a condition called xerostomia. Previous research regarding xerostomia successfully utilized electro-stimulation of the nerves in the oral cavity to treat the symptoms and manage the discomfort created by the condition. The presentation describes a revolutionary way of treating xerostomia, by using a permanent micro-electronic implant which can measure and stimulate the salivary secretion in the oral cavity.
