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.

“…11,12 It can be measured either by halimeter easily or gas chromatography from aspirated breath airs. [13][14][15] Among these VSCs, endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is synthesized from most tissues in mammals, 16,17 for which two enzymes are involved in this synthesis, cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE). [18][19][20][21] To prove the hypothesis that esophago-gastric mucosa might be the principal source for VSCs and diseased mucosa might be associated with halitosis, we measured the VSCs in either gastric juices or breath air and correlated the association between erosive mucosa and the levels of VSC.…”

Background/Aims: Halitosis is a symptom that bothers patients more socially than medically and its pathogenic mechanisms are unclear and treatment armamenterium is limited. Clinicians generally ignored active interventions. Since halitosis is closely associated with volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), we used a Halimeter and gas chromatography to measure VSCs in patients with Helicobacter-pylori (H. pylori)-associated gastric diseases. Methods: We categorized 72 patients with H. pylori infection into two groups based on their endoscopic findings: a nonerosive mucosal group (NE, n=24) and an erosive mucosal group (E, n=48). Halitosis was objectively assessed by applying either a Halimeter to breath air or gas chromatography to gastric juice. Simultaneously, the expression of VSC-generating enzyme was measured with reverse-transcriptase PCR using mRNA isolated from biopsy tissues. Results: The levels of VSCs in exhaled breaths or aspirated gastric juices differed significantly between the NE and E groups (p ＜0.00001), suggesting that VSCs might reflect eroded epithelial damage induced by H. pylori infection. The expressions of cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) were broadly consistent with the degree of mucosal injury. Conclusions: Erosive changes in esophagogastroduodenal mucosa were strongly correlated with increased VSC levels, suggesting that halitosis might result from H. pylori-associated erosive lesions.

In several studies, however, about 90% of breath malodor have an intraoral origin, mostly gingivitis, periodontitis and/or tongue coating [5][6][7] . 1) The principal components of breath malodor are volatile sulphide compounds (VSCs), especially hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S), methyl mercaptan (CH 3 SH) and dimethyl sulphide [(CH 3 ) 2 S] or compounds such as butyric acid, propionic acid, putrescine, and cadaverine 2) .…”

“…Although, gas chromatography allowing detection of all possible odorous component seems to be an objective method, it also has disadvantages. In addition, the portable sulfide monitor, a more practical VSCs measuring device, detects hydrogen sulphide and methyl mercaptan, some of the most common VSCs found in malodor 5) .…”
