“…For halitosis evaluation, a BB Checker (mBA-21, Plustech, Korea) was used, which measures the concentration of VSCs in the oral cavity, together with gas in the oral cavity and EG. Previous studies have reported that VSC concentrations 1 week and 1 month after periodontal treatment in patients with periodontal disease decreases significantly compared to before treatment [19]. As tongue coating, dental plaque, food residue, and so on cause not only halitosis but also periodontal disease, scaling to remove tartar from teeth must be performed to prevent these 2 oral conditions.…”

ObjectivesThe aim of this research was to determine intra-oral factors that affect halitosis in young women.MethodsThis study was performed between March 2014 to May 2014, and included 35 women in their 20s with good oral health. Correlation and logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the change in halitosis immediately, and 1 hour after scaling.ResultsIn both oral gas (OG) and extraoral gas (EG) groups, halitosis was reduced after scaling compared to before scaling. The logistic regression analysis of oral state factors in OG showed that as oral fluid [odds ratio (OR) = 0.792, p = 0.045] and dental plaque (OR = 0.940, p = 0.016) decreased by 1 unit, the OR in the OG group decreased (> 50). In addition, as glucose levels in the oral cavity (OR = 1.245, p = 0.075) and tongue coating index (OR = 2.912, p = 0.064) increased by 1 unit, the OR in the OG group increased (> 50). Furthermore, in the EG group, as oral fluid (OR = 0.66, p = 0.01) and dental plaque (OR = 0.95, p = 0.04) decreased, the OR in the EG group decreased (> 50) significantly.ConclusionTo control halitosis, it is necessary to increase oral fluid and decrease the amount of tongue plaque. Furthermore, maintaining a healthy oral environment, aided by regular scaling and removal of dental plaque, may significantly control halitosis.
