Effects of lingual exercises on oral muscle strength and salivary flow rate in elderly adults: a randomized clinical trial.
Kyeong-Hee LeeEun-Seo JungYoon-Young ChoiPublished in: Geriatrics & gerontology international (2020)
The two lingual exercises strengthened some aspects of tongue muscles and increased the salivary flow rate, with more salivary secretion in the tongue-pressure resistance training group than in the tongue-hold swallowing group. Any evidence of the lingual exercises being able to enhance subjective oral health could not be found. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2020; ••: ••-••.
