Research Abstract |
In this study, we developed oral humidity measuring device and examined the utility. Even if it was the same relative humidity between individuals, a difference occurred in the absolute humidity that affected the temperature in the oral cavity. It was thought that the absolute humidity was appropriate parameter in oral humidity measurement. By performing more examination of the utility, that importance of "the oral humidity" might rise as a new index of a diagnosis of zerostomia.
