“…Therefore, it is clear that tongue cleaning is clinically highest priority to reduce oral malodour. Thus, health education should be realized with a view to a dynamic balance (29), involving the physical and psychological aspects of human beings as well as their social interactions, so that individuals do not turn into puzzles of sick parts.…”

The purpose of the present study was to observe the casual levels of volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) in volunteers with different clinical scores of tongue coating, periodontal pockets depth and Gingival Bleeding Index. Seventy-two subjects who attended for the first time at the dental clinic of the University were randomly selected for intra-oral and periodontal examinations. Systemic and dental histories were also obtained. The subjects were unaware of all procedures. The level of VSC was assessed by using a portable sulphide monitor (Halimeter; Interscan Co., Chatsworth, CA, USA). High tongue coating levels were related with more VSC counts (multivariate anova, P = 0.01). No statistically significant relation (multiple linear regression, P > 0.05) was observed among the VSC levels considering age, bleeding and periodontal pockets sites (depth > 4 mm). We concluded that the tongue coating was one of the main factors influencing the VSC levels.

This phenomenon may be a consequence of a variety of factors, and respiratory, gastrointestinal, and systemic diseases may bring about oral malodor [2].…”

“…Halitosis strongly effects personal relations, it is not only a medical problem and also must be considered a social impediment [1]. Many studies have investigated the psychosocial effects of halitosis [4,5].But the effects of halitosis on sexual health has been neglected. In this study we used the the International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire (IIEF)to assess the sexual health of males with halitosis and compared the results with a similar group of healthy men.…”

ÖzetAmaç: Ağız kokusu nefesin hoş olmayan değişimidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı ağız kokusu problemi olan ve olmayan erkeklerin seksüel hayat kalitesini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ağız kokusu şikayeti olan, evli, çalışma-yı tamamlayacabilecek, 20-50 yaş arası erkek hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Kontrol grubunu kulak burun boğaz muayenesi normal olan, sağlıklı, evli, erişkin erkekler oluşturdu. Ağız kokusu olan erkeklerin seksüel hayat kalitesi uluslararası erektil fonksiyon anketi kullanılarak değerlendirildi ve benzer özellikte sağlıklı erkeklerin sonuçları ile karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Seksen hasta çalışmayı tamamladı. Gruplar yaş, vücut kitle indeksi, evlilik süresi açısın-dan benzerdi(sırasıyla p=0.65, p= 0.20, p= 0.08). Ağız kokusu olan grup tüm fonksiyonel alanlarda daha düşük skorlara sahipti(p=0.0001).Ağız kokusunun derecesi ile uluslarası erekfil fonksiyon anketi skorları arasında korelasyon yoktu (p< 0.05). Tartışma: Bu çalışma ağız kokusu problemi yaşayan erkeklerin seksüel yaşam kalitesini değerlendiren ilk çalışmadır. Ağız kokusu sadece ağız sağlığını etkileyen bir durum değildir, ciddi derecede yaşam kalitesini de azaltmaktadır. Kulak burun boğaz hekimleri hastanın sadece ağız kokusunu tedavi etmekle kalmamalı, ayrıca hastanın ağız kokusuna eşlik eden sosyal ve seksüel problemlerle baş edebilmesi konusunda da yardımcı olmalıdır. Anahtar KelimelerAğız Kokusu; Yaşam Kalitesi; Seksüel Yaşam; Uluslararası Erektil Fonksiyon Anketi Abstract Aim: Halitosis is an unpleasant alteration of the halitus. The aim of the study is to assess the quality of sexual life of males with and without halitosis. Material and Method: Males between 20-50 years old; with a complaint of halitosis; married and able to complete the study were included in the study. The control group were healthy, adult, married males who have normal otorhinolaryngologic examination. The International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire(IIEF) were used to assess the quality of sexual life of males with halitosis and the results were compared with a similar group of healthy men. Results: A total of 80 adult subjects completed the study. When the groups were compared in terms of age, body mass index(BMI) and duration of marriage, they were similar (p=0.65, p= 0.20, p= 0.08 respectively). The halitosis group had significantly lower scores for all function domains (p=0.0001).There was no correlation between degree of halitosis and the scores of IIEF (p< 0.05). Discussion: This is the first study investigating the sexual health of males with halitosis. Halitosis not only effects oral health status but also strongly declines quality of life. The otorhinolaryngologist must not only treat halitosis but also help the patient to stand up to social and sexual problems concomitting halitosis.
