“…Tongue coating index (TCI) was scored for area and thickness, and the total score was calculated as the product of both scores. 16 The amount of VSCs that determines halitosis was measured with the Halimeter device (model RH17R, Interscan Corp, Chatsworth, Calif) at T2, T3, T4, and T5. The patients were asked to breathe through their noses for 3 minutes before the sampling.…”

Objective: To evaluate the effects of fixed orthodontic treatment with steel-ligated conventional brackets and self-ligating brackets on halitosis and periodontal health. Materials and Methods: Sixty patients, at the permanent dentition stage aged 12 to 18 years, who had Angle Class I malocclusion with mild-to-moderate crowding were randomly selected. Inclusion criteria were nonsmokers, without systematic disease, and no use of antibiotics and oral mouth rinses during the 2-month period before the study. The patients were subdivided into three groups randomly: the group treated with conventional brackets (group 1, n 5 20) ligated with steel ligature wires, the group treated with self-ligating brackets (group 2, n 5 20), and the control group (group 3, n 5 20). The periodontal records were obtained 1 week before bonding (T1), immediately before bonding (T2), 1 week after bonding (T3), 4 weeks after bonding (T4), and 8 weeks after bonding (T5). Measurements of the control group were repeated within the same periods. The volatile sulfur components determining halitosis were measured with the Halimeter at T2, T3, T4, and T5. A twoway repeated measures of analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the groups statistically. Results: No statistically significant group 3 time interactions were found for plaque index, gingival index, pocket depth, bleeding on probing, and halitosis, which means three independent groups change like each other by time. The risk of tongue coating index (TCI) being 2 was 10.2 times higher at T1 than at T5 (P , .001). Therefore, the probability of higher TCI was decreased by time in all groups. Conclusions: The self-ligating brackets do not have an advantage over conventional brackets with respect to periodontal status and halitosis. (Angle Orthod. 2015;85:468-473.)

“…Correlations between organoleptic scores and OralChroma ™ readings have been reported by Tsai et al (2008) and Vandekerckhove et al (2009). With regard to the organoleptic score to detect patients with or without intra-oral halitosis, the sensitivity and specificity for the Halimeter ® was 63% and 98%, respectively, and for the OralChroma ™ 69% and 100% by using the threshold suggested by the manufacturer.…”

“…The manufacturer of the Halimeter ® has suggested values between 80 and 140 ppb to be in the normal range, whereas values of 150 and above to indicate intra-oral halitosis). Vandekerckhove et al (2009) used 160 ppb as a cut-off value and Yaegaki & Sanada (1992c) proposed 75 ppb of T-VSC in, mouth air to be socially acceptable. This difference in threshold values used for one of the parameters (T-VSC) highlights the complexity to make a clear definition of successful treatment of patients with intra-oral halitosis.…”

Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of non‐surgical periodontal therapy on intra‐oral halitosis 3 months after therapy. Material and methods Sixty‐eight adults with intra‐oral halitosis were included in a case series. Intra‐oral halitosis was evaluated at baseline, and at 3 months after treatment using the organoleptic scores (OLS), Halimeter®, and a gas chromatograph. Results Significant reductions for OLS (p < 0.01), total sum of volatile sulphur compounds (T‐VSC) (p < 0.01) and methyl mercaptan (MM) (p < 0.05) values were found after treatment. Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) levels were not significantly reduced. The numbers of probing pockets 4 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm were significantly reduced as a result of therapy (p < 0.001). Bleeding on probing (BOP) and plaque indices were also significantly reduced (p < 0.001). For the 34 individuals with successful periodontal treatment (BOP<20% and a ≥50% reduction of total pocket depth) reductions in OLS (p < 0.01) and T‐VSC scores (p < 0.01) were found. Eleven individuals were considered effectively treated for intra‐oral halitosis presenting with a T‐VSC value <160 ppb, a H2S value <112 ppb and a MM value <26 ppb. Conclusion Non‐surgical periodontal therapy resulted in reduction of OLS, MM and T‐VSC values 3 months after therapy. Few individuals were considered as effectively treated for intra‐oral halitosis.

“…Bunula birlikte Halimetre HS'ye MM'ye göre daha çok duyarlıdır, DMS'ye hemen hemen duyarsızdır. Bazı çalışmalarda MM seviyesi Oral Chroma ile yüksek bulunmuş hastalarda Halimetre ile düşük USB seviyesi bulunmuştur 16,37 . Salako ve Philip'in 42 çalışmasına paralel olarak bizim çalışmamız da tüm gruplarda Halimetre ile Oral Chroma ölçüm sonuçları arasında istatiksel bir farklılık göstermemiştir.…”

Objectives: Halimeter which a portable sulfide monitors, and Oral Chroma which a portable gas chromatograph, are devices that are widely used in the diagnosis of halitosis. The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of volatile sulfur compounds of periodontal healthy volunteers, periodontitis, and individuals having orthodontic treatment by Halimeter and Oral Chroma and to perform comparisons between the groups in the levels of halitosis. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with periodontitis, 30 patients receiving orthodontic treatment and 30 healthy subjects were included in the study. Volatile sulfur compounds value of a total of 90 patients was measured by Halimeter and Oral Chroma. Results: Oral halitosis measurements between the three groups did not differ significantly between Oral Chroma and Halimeter. Tongue coating index, plaque index, gingival index, and probing pocket depth with the value of Oral Chroma and Halimeter results of oral halitosis showed a linear correlation in periodontitis group. Tongue coating index, and plaque index with the value of Oral Chroma and Halimeter results of oral halitosis showed a linear correlation in healthy group. Tongue coating index with the value of Oral Chroma and Halimeter results of oral halitosis showed a linear correlation in orthodontic group. Conclusions: Yongue coating was found to be the most decisive factor in estimating the odor score by both devices.

Clinical reliability of non‐organoleptic oral malodour measurements

Abstract: We concluded that the measurement of the VSC levels can be used as an adjunct to the organoleptic assessment. Thresholds should be revisited in order to improve their clinical utility. These devices can prove the absence of malodour in case of pseudo-halitosis.
