Effectiveness of mechanical tongue cleaning on breath odour and tongue coating: a systematic review

Abstract: This review demonstrated that mechanical approaches, such as tongue brushing or tongue scraping to clean the dorsum of the tongue, have the potential to successfully reduce breath odour and TC. However, data concerning the effect of mechanical tongue cleaning on chronic oral malodour (halitosis) are insufficient.

“…Coating of the tongue is the most common source of intra-oral halitosis, and tongue debridement is one of the most effective treatments for alleviating it (22). In this study, however, removal of tongue coatings was prohibited during the test period to avoid any influence of active reduction of tongue biofilms on our results.…”
