The goal of this \[ type of study: Clinical trial\] is to test effectiveness of Hibiscus Sabdariffa L. mouth rinse using the subjective dry mouth score as a primary objective and to assess the effect of that mix on the salivary flow rate and objective dry mouth score as a secondary objective.

Subjective symptoms of oral dryness
• Using a questionnaire will be recorded according to the following: Q1. Does your mouth feel dry? Q2. Do you sip liquids to aid in swallowing dry food? Q3. Does your mouth feel dry when eating a meal? Q4. Does the amount of saliva in your mouth seem to be too little? Subject who answered affirmatively to at least one of the questions related to oral dryness will be considered as positive for subjective complaints of oral dryness and take score from 1-4 according to the number of positive answers.
Three points: -"baseline which is at the fourth week of radiotherapy", -"the second point is at seventh week of the radiotherapy, while the end point is after three months of radiotherapy.
Objective dry mouth score
* The patients will be examined for their signs of dry mouth including: 1. loss of pooled saliva 2. Mouth mirror stickiness 3. Stringy or foamy appearance 4. Labial dehydration 5. Irresponsiveness to parotid stimulation * Objective dry mouth scores will be calculated as the number of observed dry mouth signs (0-5), and patients with a score less than 2 will be excluded.
Three points: -"baseline which is at the fourth week of radiotherapy", -"the second point is at seventh week of the radiotherapy, while the end point is after three months of radiotherapy.
Salivary flow rate
Three points: -"baseline which is at the fourth week of radiotherapy", -"the second point is at seventh week of the radiotherapy, while the end point is after three months of radiotherapy.
patients in test group will topically apply 20 mL of Hibiscus Sabdariffa L. to the oral mucosa as oral rinse 3 times per day. Patients were advised to rinse 20 mL of Hibiscus Sabdariffa L. from the fourth week of radiotherapy to three months after radiotherapy.
Patients in the control arm will topically apply 20 mL of 0.9% of normal saline rinses 3 times per day. Patients were advised to rinse with 20 mL normal saline from the fourth week of radiotherapy to three months after radiotherapy.
The fresh red Roselle plant was obtained; the red calyxes of Hibiscus Sabdariffa were separated from the plant and dried for a week at 25°C. The dried calyxes were ground to powder, kept in a sealed container, and stored in a refrigerator (4°C) until used. Aqueous Roselle calyx extract was prepared by adding 10 gm of the previously prepared powder to 100 ml of boiling water and then heated on a hot stirrer plate for 30 min. To remove the remnants, the mixture was filtered via Whatman No 1 filter paper (Whatman products, Springfield Paper Mill, Maidstone, UK). The water content of the filtered solution was evaporated using an air recirculation oven and then kept at 4°C in the dark until used to determine antibacterial effectiveness \[20\].
