“…Tongue coating is considered the most important contributor to halitosis levels . This is probably because the dorsum of the tongue is a reservoir for anaerobic bacteria: a single epithelial cell on the dorsum of the tongue can harbour up to 100 bacteria, more than anywhere else in the oral cavity .…”

“…Many studies have put forward a compelling case supporting a direct correlation between periodontal health and halitosis . Bollepalli’s study, for example, showed that all the clinical parameters for measuring periodontal disease were significantly related to oral malodour …”

“…Halitosis is mostly due to putrefying bacteria living on the dorsum of the tongue and the volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs) produced from food remnants. The main compounds thought to be the primary cause of halitosis are hydrogen sulphide, methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulphide …”

Halitosis, an offensive breath odour, has multiple sources and negative impacts on people’s social interactions and quality of life. It is important for health care professionals, including general physicians and dental professionals, to understand its aetiology and risk factors in order to diagnose and treat patients appropriately. In this study, we have reviewed the current literature on halitosis regarding its prevalence, classification, risk factors, sources, measurement and treatment.

“…So, there is a positive correlation between bad breath and periodontitis: the depth of the periodontal pockets is positively correlated to the height of the VSC concentrations in the mouth. 14 When tongue coating is taken into account, the correlation is even more significant. 15,16 Individuals with a healthy periodontium can show halitosis caused by the impaction of food, bacteria, leucocytes and desquamating epithelial cells on the dorsum of their tongue.…”

Halitosis: the multidisciplinary approach

Halitosis, bad breath or oral malodour are all synonyms for the same pathology. Halitosis has a large social and economic impact. For the majority of patients suffering from bad breath, it causes embarrassment and affects their social communication and life. Moreover, halitosis can be indicative of underlying diseases. Only a limited number of scientific publications were presented in this field until 1995. Ever since, a large amount of research is published, often with lack of evidence. In general, intraoral conditions, like insufficient dental hygiene, periodontitis or tongue coating are considered to be the most important cause (85%) for halitosis. Therefore, dentists and periodontologists are the first-line professionals to be confronted with this problem. They should be well aware of the origin, the detection and especially of the treatment of this pathology. In addition, ear–nose–throat-associated (10%) or gastrointestinal/endocrinological (5%) disorders may contribute to the problem. In the case of halitophobia, psychiatrical or psychological problems may be present. Bad breath needs a multidisciplinary team approach: dentists, periodontologists, specialists in family medicine, ear–nose–throat surgeons, internal medicine and psychiatry need to be updated in this field, which still is surrounded by a large taboo. Multidisciplinary bad breath clinics offer the best environment to examine and treat this pathology that affects around 25% of the whole population. This article describes the origin, detection and treatment of halitosis, regarded from the different etiological origins.

“…Klinik periodontal parametreler içerisinde dil kaplaması her iki cihazda da koku skorunun tahmin edilmesinde en belirleyici faktör olarak öne çıkmaktadır, buna sebep dil sırtının anaerobik organizmaların çoğalmaları için uygun ortamı sağlamasıdır. Dil yüzeyindeki sayısız girintiler birçok bakteri türü için temizleme aktivitelerinden uzakta, bakteri yapışması, büyümesi ve USB oluşumu için ideal bir yerdir [37][38][39] .…”

Objectives: Halimeter which a portable sulfide monitors, and Oral Chroma which a portable gas chromatograph, are devices that are widely used in the diagnosis of halitosis. The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of volatile sulfur compounds of periodontal healthy volunteers, periodontitis, and individuals having orthodontic treatment by Halimeter and Oral Chroma and to perform comparisons between the groups in the levels of halitosis. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with periodontitis, 30 patients receiving orthodontic treatment and 30 healthy subjects were included in the study. Volatile sulfur compounds value of a total of 90 patients was measured by Halimeter and Oral Chroma. Results: Oral halitosis measurements between the three groups did not differ significantly between Oral Chroma and Halimeter. Tongue coating index, plaque index, gingival index, and probing pocket depth with the value of Oral Chroma and Halimeter results of oral halitosis showed a linear correlation in periodontitis group. Tongue coating index, and plaque index with the value of Oral Chroma and Halimeter results of oral halitosis showed a linear correlation in healthy group. Tongue coating index with the value of Oral Chroma and Halimeter results of oral halitosis showed a linear correlation in orthodontic group. Conclusions: Yongue coating was found to be the most decisive factor in estimating the odor score by both devices.
