“…Studies demonstrating that periodontitis is associated with intra-oral halitosis are consistent with our finding that improvement of periodontal conditions also results in the reduction of intra-oral halitosis (Miyazaki et al 1995, Morita & Wang 2001, Liu et al 2006, Samnieng et al 2012. The results from Paper III are consistent with other studies demonstrating reductions of VSC levels shortly after non-surgical periodontal therapy (≤4 weeks) (Quirynen et al 1998, Kara et al 2008, Tsai et al 2008, Takeuchi et al 2010. The studies by Tsai et al (2008), andTakeuchi et al (2010) also used mouth rinse and performed a tongue cleaning procedures.…”

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.

“…Based on the full texts, three studies were excluded because they lacked a control group 28 or statistical analyses 29 or they compared Nd:YAG laser treatment to surgical flap treatment 30 . Finally, eight studies 15,31‐37 were identified as eligible and were analyzed further.…”

The majority of the studies analyzed showed no beneficial effect of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser compared to conventional therapy (ultrasonics and/or hand instrumentation) in the initial treatment of patients with periodontitis. The pulsed Nd:YAG laser was assessed as monotherapy and as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal treatment; efficacy was determined by the extent of plaque removal and the reduction of periodontal inflammation. This literature review suggests that there is no evidence to support the superiority of the Nd:YAG laser over traditional modalities of periodontal therapy.

“…Some reports have suggested that patients perceive laser dental treatment to be better than conventional techniques in terms of postoperative pain and function (24,44,45), and laser palliation of oral ulcers has been well documented in the literature. Colvard & Kuo (18) showed that CO 2 laser treatment relieved pain on application of laser energy, while Convissar & Massoumi‐Sourey (23) found the same results when using Nd:YAG lasers.…”
