“…28 It is uncertain whether this effect may be excluded in this study; however, taking into consideration the relatively low occurrence of halitosis in this study, it is probable that this effect was low. Another important aspect is that women seem to show a higher occurrence of pseudo-halitosis; 8 therefore, the occurrence observed may be overestimated in this gender.…”

“…6 However, the organoleptic assessment is time-consuming and complex, requiring careful training and calibration of the examiner. Portable sulfide monitors that measure the levels of volatile sulfur compounds (VSC ) emitted in the air have shown a good correlation with organoleptic scores, 7,8 and have been used in clinical and epidemiologic studies. Self-reported halitosis has been used as a diagnostic tool, mostly in clinical practice and epidemiologic studies, since it reflects the patient's perspective regarding halitosis, and is of easy assessment.…”

“…10 Studies indicate that the oral cavity is responsible for approximately 90% of halitosis cases. 8,13,14 Thus, the dentist plays an essential role in diagnosing and treating halitosis. 15 In this context, studies on the occurrence of halitosis have become important for dental professionals, including dental students, because they represent a positive model for the general population.…”

Self-reported halitosis and associated demographic and behavioral factorsAbstract: Halitosis is still poorly studied in young adults. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of self-reported halitosis and associate it with demographic and behavioral factors in young adult dental students. This cross-sectional study was designed as a census of students enrolled in three initial and three final semesters of a dental course in a Brazilian public university. Of 284 eligible students, 257 (90.5%) completed a self-administered questionnaire. Self-reported halitosis was the primary study outcome, and was assessed with the question "do you feel you have bad breath?". Data on age, gender, frequency of tooth brushing and interproximal cleaning, tongue cleaning, mouth rinse use and dry mouth were collected using the questionnaire, and were considered independent variables. Of the students surveyed, 26.5% reported as never, 51.7% as rarely, 21.4% as sometimes, and 0.4% as always feeling they had halitosis. Morning halitosis was reported by 90.6% of those who reported halitosis. In the final multiple model, last semester students had a 55% lower chance of reporting halitosis, compared with students from the first semesters [odds ratio (OR) 0.46; 95%CI 0.24-0.89]. Women had a 2.57fold higher chance of reporting halitosis (OR = 2.57; 95%CI 1.12-5.93). Dry mouth increased the chance of self-reported halitosis 3.95-fold, compared with absence of dry mouth (OR = 3.95; 95%CI 2.03-7.68). It can be concluded that self-reports of halitosis were low among dental students, but may represent an important complaint. Gender, dry mouth and level of college education of the dentist were factors significantly associated with self-reported halitosis.

La halitosis ha sido definida como un olor ofensivo y fétido en el aliento producido por factores como: mala higiene oral, infecciones dentales u orales y/o la ingestión de ciertos alimentos. El objetivo de esta revisión es evaluar el estado actual del diagnóstico, clasificación y tratamiento de la halitosis, y brindar estrategias y herramientas correctas para abordar una problemática que es tan común en la consulta odontológica. La prevalencia de la halitosis es alta y varía dependiendo de la población estudiada y el método de diagnostico usado (escalas subjetivas, mediciones organolépticas, halimeter, cromatografía de gas, test BANA ). Existen 3 tipos de halitosis: La halitosis genuina (fisiológica y patológica), la pseudohalitosis y la halitofobia. La etiología es multifactorial y existe un acuerdo en que principalmente ocurre por el metabolismo de las bacterias. La producción de compuestos volátiles y no volátiles es común en los humanos y está influenciada por factores genéticos, dieta, estrés, enfermedades y/o desordenes presentes en los individuos. Los dos tratamientos más utilizados y tradicionales para el control de la halitosis son el control mecánico de la lengua saburral y el uso de agentes antimicrobianos. La halitosis afecta una gran parte de la población, puede crear desventajas sociales y sicológicas, y aunque es de origen multifactorial su principal causa se encuentra en la cavidad oral, principalmente por factores como la placa bacteriana, gingivitis y periodontitis. El objetivo de este artículo es revisar las herramientas actuales para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la halitosis.Palabras clave: Halitosis, Enfermedades periodontales, Biopelícula, Pruebas de halitosis. AbstractHalitosis has been defined as an offensive and fetid breath odor caused by factors such as poor oral hygiene, dental or mouth infections and / or ingestion of certain foods. The aim of this review is to assess the current state of diagnosis, classification and treatment of halitosis, providing the right strategies and tools to address a problem that is so common in dental practice. Halitosis prevalence is high and varies depending on the population studied and the diagnostic method used (subjective scales, organoleptic measurements, halymeter, gas chromatography, BANA test). There are 3 types of halitosis: Genuine halitosis (physiological and pathological), the pseudohalitosis and halitophobia. The etiology is multifactorial and there is an agreement about the cause primarily by bacterial metabolism. The production of volatile and nonvolatile compounds in humans is common Comparte Duque A, Tejada C.

The two most used and traditional treatments to control halitosis are the mechanical control of coated tongue and the use of antimicrobial agents.
