      <i_freetext>First intervention group: The lozenge used contains 500 mg of xylitol, 200 mg of green tea extract, 200 mg of ginger extract, 100 mg of marshmallow extract, and 100 mg of cheese extract. This lozenge was prepared in the laboratory of Alborz University of Medical Sciences. Two pre-weighed cotton rolls are placed on each side of the roof of the person's mouth. Then the cotton rolls are taken out and weighed again. In the second step, we perform all these steps after taking the lozenge and compare the results. The second intervention group: in this evaluation, after taking the lozenge, the volunteer will evaluate the sensory characteristics using the 5-point hedonic method by completing the evaluation questionnaire in the form of scoring..</i_freetext>

    </intervention_keyword>
    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>The amount of saliva secretion. Timepoint: Before and after taking the lozenge. Method of measurement: By cotton weighing. In this way, before taking the lozenge, cotton it is placed in the volunteer's mouth and then it is weighed. The same process is repeated after taking the lozenge. Then, the difference in the weight of the cottons, which shows the increase in saliva secretion, is calculated.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Organoleptic characteristics. Timepoint: Immediately after taking the pill. Method of measurement: Statistical analysis is done based on scoring the questionnaire regarding organoleptic characteristics. The questionnaire is evaluated in the form of scoring. Scores are analyzed statistically by Anova method.</prim_outcome>
