“…This is in agreement with many studies. [ 37 71 72 73 ] Söder et al . found that PI was significantly correlated with halitosis and that periodontitis patients with halitosis had more severe disease than those without.…”

Objectives:This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence and awareness of halitosis among the subjects of a population, and also to compare the results of Halimeter® readings to self-estimation of halitosis and to assess the relationship between halitosis and oral health.Materials and Methods:A sample of 205 employees from the Jordan University for Science and Technology (JUST) were selected as study subjects. A standardized questionnaire focusing on dental hygiene, self-reported halitosis, and smoking was filled by all participants. In the clinical examination, the objective values for assessment of oral health and the presence of halitosis were gathered through an organoleptic test (OLT) and the measurement of volatile sulfur compound (VSC) level by Halimeter for each participant.Results:The prevalence of halitosis was 78%, with low rate of awareness (20.5%). The amount of TC played the most important role in increasing the concentration of VSCs in mouth air (P < 0.001).Conclusion:A statistically significant correlation was found between OLT and Halimeter values (P < 0.001). Subjective patients’ opinion did not correlate with the objective evaluation of halitosis. TC scores and smoking were the factors significantly associated to halitosis. The Halimeter showed promising characteristics regarding diagnosis of halitosis for clinical setting and field surveys.

“…Methods for measuring tooth mobility include the evaluation of tooth movement under application of a defined load (24, 28, 29), use of the Mühlemann periodontometer (14), and use of the Periotest device (15, 17, 19, 25). The Periotest method is a well established and accepted technique for measuring tooth mobility in both periodontology (30–34) and dental traumatology (15, 17, 19, 25, 35–37). The advantages of this method are easy application, the ability to measure both horizontal and vertical dimension, and highly reproducible results (14).…”

According to the current guidelines and within the limits of an in vitro study, it can be stated that flexible or semirigid splints such as the titanium trauma splint and wire-composite splints 1 and 2 are appropriate for splinting teeth with dislocation injuries and root fractures, whereas rigid splints such as wire-composite splint 3 and the titanium ring splint can be used to treat alveolar process fractures.

“…This is one of the sutures used to close the interdental papilla on top of the barrier membrane, the socalled "offset suture," that finds its vestibular anchorage at the level of the buccal keratinized tissue of the tooth next to the experimental tooth. Tooth mobility was evaluated as damping characteristics of the periodontal ligament using a purpose-built electronic device as previously described [37][38][39] and expressed as conventional units (PTU).…”
