Suchorska-Woźniak, Patrycja and Teterycz, Helena
- Abstract
The detection of dimethyl sulphide (DMS) at levels between ppb and ppm is a significant area of research due to the necessity of monitoring the presence of this gas in a variety of environments. These include environmental protection, industrial safety and medical diagnostics. Issues related to certain uncertainties concerning the influence of high humidity on DMS measurements with resistive gas sensors, e.g., in the detection of this marker in exhaled air, of the still unsatisfactory lower detection limit of DMS are the subject of intensive research. This paper presents the results of modifying the composition of the ZnO-based sensor layer to develop a DMS sensor with higher sensitivity and lower detection limit (LOD). Improved performance was achieved by using ZnO in the form of hexagonal nano- and microplates doped with gold nanoparticles (0.75 wt.%) and by using a well-proven sepiolite-based passive filter. The modification of the layer composition with respect to the authors' previous studies contributed to the development of a sensor that is highly sensitive to 1 ppm DMS (S = 11.4) and achieves an LOD of up to 406 ppb, despite the presence of a high water vapour content (90% RH) in the analysed atmosphere.

Background: Bad breath (halitosis) is a common problem affecting psycho-social wellbeing of young people. We aimed to explore the extent of self-perceived halitosis and associated factors among university students in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among university students from November 2021 to April 2022. Six private and two public universities were approached. A total of 318 participants were conveniently selected for the study. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Students unwilling to participate were excluded. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to examine factors associated with halitosis. Statistical analysis was conducted using Stata Version 17. Results: A total of 55.97% of students had self-perceived halitosis, with females (74.53%) having a significantly higher proportion than males (36.94%) (p < 0.001). A significantly higher proportion of halitosis was found among participants who were overweight (61%), had obesity (60.77%), smoked cigarette (46.79%), consumed alcohol (71.43%), lacked exercise (66.29%), were on unhealthy diet (57.35%), consumed coffee/tea (61.35%), breathed through mouth (64.60%), brushed tooth infrequently (85.71%), changed toothbrush after 6 months (77.42%), did not use toothpaste (94.74%), did not use/ sometimes used fluoride toothpaste (75.76%), lacked dental floss use (60.85%), did not use toothpick (62.87%), did chew or sometimes chewed sugar-free chewing gum (75.82%), did not clear / cleaned tongue sometimes (76.14%), did use mouth freshener regularly or occasionally (64.97%), did not use or used mouthwash sometimes (58.87%) were also associated with higher self-perceived halitosis (p < 0.05 for all). Students with gum bleeding, swollen gums, dry mouth, dental caries, food accumulation, and tooth sensitivity had a significantly (p < 0.05 for all) higher proportion of self-perceived halitosis (76.85%, 81.82%, 72.50%, 67.78%, 64.13% and 67.40%, respectively) compared to those without this problem. Being female (OR = 5.04; 95% CI: 2.01–12.62; p < 0.001), alcohol consumers (OR 7.35; 95% CI: 1.77–30.50; p = 0.006); not using sugar free chewing gum (OR = 0.25; 95% CI: 0.10–0.58; p = 0.001), lack of tongue cleaning (OR 4.62; 95% CI: 2.16–9.84; p < 0.001), and gum bleeding (OR = 7.43; 95% CI: 3.00-18.35; p < 0.001) were independently associated with halitosis on multivariable regression. Conclusion: This study reveals a high proportion of self-perceived halitosis and relevant factors. There should be more public education on the causes of halitosis and potential management approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: This study was conducted in order to determine the effect on halitosis and the antibacterial effect against halitosis‐causing bacteria of the mouthwash made of the natural material, Glycyrrhiza uralensis (G. uralensis) extract. Materials and Methods: A randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled study was conducted on 60 patients who visited M dental clinic located in Busan, South Korea, excluding those with systemic disease that may induce halitosis. There were 30 patients classified to the saline gargle group and the remaining 30 patients were classified to the G. uralensis extract gargle group. In addition, their level of halitosis and halitosis‐causing bacteria were measured. They visited the dental clinic on a fasted state at baseline before gargle application (Baseline), immediately after gargle application (Treatment) and 5 days after gargle application (After 5 Days). For clinical indicators, participants were tested for halitosis and bacteria immediately after waking up without brushing their teeth and without hydration. Results: The prevalence of halitosis decreased in the G. uralensis extract gargle group compared to the saline gargle group at Treatment and After 5 Days. In cases with pseudo halitosis, there was a significant decrease in halitosis‐causing bacteria when G. uralensis extract gargle was applied (p < 0.05). Conclusions: It was identified that using a mouthwash made with G. uralensis extract is effective for halitosis improvement and reduction of halitosis‐causing bacteria. Therefore, using a mouthwash containing G. uralensis extract, it will be effective in improving bad breath and oral hygiene will be possible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the therapeutic potential of probiotics in patients with halitosis and to assess whether probiotics can also be implemented as a preventative tool in oral health. Secondary objectives included the effect of probiotics on oral-health-related quality of life, as well as their safety. Materials and methods: An electronic literature search in Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane library was carried out for the identification and selection of relevant randomized controlled trials. Eligibility was based on inclusion criteria, which included RCTs published after 2013, and the outcome variables were volatile sulfur compound (VSC) levels, organoleptic scores, plaque, or saliva samples to assess cariogenic bacteria counts and/or pH levels. Results: Out of 192 identified records, 16 randomized controlled trials were included. Ten of those studied the effects of probiotics on halitosis and the other six analyzed the effect of probiotics on oral health parameters, such as cariogenic bacteria counts, pH levels, and salivary flow and quality. A total of 921 patients were evaluated. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias assessment tool version 2. Conclusions: Probiotics exhibit the potential for oral health management by reducing VSC levels, improving saliva quality, and enhancing oral-health-related quality of life. Combining probiotics with tongue scraping may sustain VSC reduction, while symbiotics show potential in reducing tongue coating. However, different bacterial strains have been used in the included studies; hence, the conclusions cannot be generalized, being one of the main limitations of this review. Future research should explore the probiotics' potential to persist in the oral cavity post-treatment and employ standardized methodologies for conclusive efficacy assessment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The oral microbiome is a diverse and complex ecosystem essential for maintaining oral and systemic health. Our study is the first to define the oral microbial community in Egyptian young adults and investigate the effects of natural antimicrobials on the oral microbiome. SuperMint (SM) is a proprietary blend of peppermint, Japanese mint, bergamot mint, and spearmint essential oils encapsulated in a tiny soft beadlet. This work aimed to evaluate the effects of SM beadlets on the oral microbiome. This study recruited twenty healthy participants. A baseline investigation of the oral microbiome of the selected participants was performed by collecting saliva and swab samples before treatment. Treatment included chewing four SM beadlets twice a day for 7 days, and then, post-administration saliva and swab samples were collected at the end of treatment. The oral microbiome samples were analyzed by the high-throughput amplicon sequencing of 16S rRNA gene fragments, and the community composition was determined. The results showed that the abundance of some microbial genera and families decreased after using SM, including Prevotella, Streptococcus, Neisseria, and Haemophilus. However, some genera showed inconsistent patterns. We also found that the subject's gender and SM usage were significantly associated with diverse microbial composition. The results suggest that SM treatment decreased the abundance of several bacteria associated with halitosis and periodontal diseases, such as Actinomyces and Streptococcus. Furthermore, Corynebacterium species increased and Streptococcus decreased after SM usage. More research is needed to fully understand the antimicrobial effects of mint oils and their potential applications in maintaining good oral health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases in humans and animals. It is a multifactorial disease resulting in attachment loss and tooth loss. Therefore, preventive dentistry, such as daily teeth cleaning or providing dental chews from puppyhood is essential. This study aimed to find an alternative option for preventive dentistry by examining both in vitro and clinically, the antibacterial, antihalitosis, and anti-inflammatory effects of folic acid (FA) in dogs with periodontal disease. The antibacterial and antihalitosis responses of FA were evaluated in vitro using Porphyromonas gulae, a bacterium that plays a significant role in the development of periodontal disease in dogs. Anti-inflammatory responses, such as secretion of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 induced by P. gulae infection in human gingival epithelium have been studied. This study used dogs with P. gulae -associated periodontal diseases and was conducted by providing a dental chew containing 0.13% FA for 28 days. The viability and halitosis production (hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan) of P. gulae was significantly inhibited by FA in a dose and time-dependent manner. IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 secretion were also significantly suppressed by FA treatment in a dose-dependent manner. In vitro bactericidal, antihalitosis, and anti-inflammatory effects of FA were confirmed in dogs with P. gulae -associated periodontal disease. One month of oral treatment with 0.13% FA-containing dental chews significantly reduced halitosis as well as P. gulae activity. This study suggests that oral treatment with FA can be a preventive option for periodontal disease in dogs as well as humans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research has been conducted to explore the link between oral diseases and numerous exogenous aspects that cause it to enhance bad breath. Oral diseases that cause bad breath consist of oral infections, poor oral hygiene, several foodstuffs, and basic medical conditions. Some of the prevalent oral diseases are periodontitis and gingivitis because they create bad breath resulting from overgrowth of microorganisms in the oral cavity. Apart from the infection in the mouth, halitosis is also triggered by extra oral such as respiratory and gastrointestinal ailments and drugs; all these factors lead to the development of volatile Sulphur compounds as well as other odorizing molecules, which are subsequently spread through the blood and exhaled through the lungs. In addition to situations mentioned above, extra oral factors, for example, respiratory and GI conditions and particular medicines, can cause the production of VSCs as well as additional odorous compounds. The bloodstream serves as a vehicle for these substances, and then the lungs expel them. In general, the connection between oral illness and external factors that contribute to foul breath is intricate. A comprehensive approach to managing bad breath may involve addressing both oral and extra oral factors and addressing any underlying medical conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The oral cavity harbors a diverse population of microorganisms, making it one of the most heavily colonized sites in the human body. Maintaining a balanced microecology is crucial for oral health. Ligilactobacillus salivarius as a species of Ligilactobacillus, has good oral colonization ability and potential to improve oral microecology for disease prevention and control. Currently, the application and mechanism of Ligilactobacillus salivarius in oral diseases include several aspects. First, by directly inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans and downregulating the expression of its cariogenic virulence factor, gtfs, the aim is to reduce the number of adherent Streptococcus mutans on the tooth surface, thereby preventing dental caries. Second, reducing the number of keystone taxa in periodontitis, and the virulence factors of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, including CdtB and LtxA, can alleviate local stimulation in patients with periodontitis. Additionally, directly inhibiting macrophage MAPK and NF-κB pathway activation suppresses osteoclastogenesis and reduces periodontal bone absorption. In mucosal inflammation, Ligilactobacillus salivarius competes with Candida albicans, inhibits the formation of pathogenic hyphae or germ tubes, and prevents monilial stomatitis. Ligilactobacillus salivarius can also reduce the amount of Staphylococcus aureus and mitigate the activation of the macrophage TLR/PI3K/Akt/mTOR and TLR/PI3K/Akt/IκB/NF-κB pathways induced by S. aureus infections, thus alleviating inflammation in the oral and pharyngeal regions. In vitro studies on oral tumors have revealed that Ligilactobacillus salivarius can downregulate the expression of cancer cell Akt/Cyclin D1, induce direct apoptosis of tumor cells, reduce COX-2 expression, and improve the tumor immune-suppressive microenvironment. Previous studies have revealed considerable variability in Ligilactobacillus salivarius, necessitating more detailed research to clarify its clinical effects, safety, and mechanisms. Despite the emergence of novel microbiological research techniques, their application to Ligilactobacillus salivarius remains relatively limited. One crucial direction for future research is to better utilize these methods to investigate the effects of Ligilactobacillus salivarius on oral diseases. Considering these factors, this study provides a comprehensive review of existing research studies on Ligilactobacillus salivarius in the fields of oral medicine and dentistry, with the aim to serve as a reference and guide for future studies.

Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is an acquired, false, and pulsion diverticulum formed by the protrusion of mucosa and submucosa through Killian's dehiscence. The index case is a 91-year-old Nepali patient with a known history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, rheumatic heart disease, and stage 4 chronic kidney disease, who has been experiencing dysphagia, halitosis, and chronic cough for 25 years. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest revealed an outpouching filled with air, fluid, and some solid contents, arising at the level of the cricoid cartilage and extending posteriorly to the esophagus, compressing it. A barium swallow test was performed for confirmation and revealed similar findings. The patient was counseled for surgery but declined due to old age and comorbidities. ZD is commonly seen in the geriatric population and patients with neuromuscular discordance. Barium swallow and CT chest scans can diagnose ZD, and surgery is the mainstay of treatment.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of a mouthwash containing Lespedeza cuneata extract (LCE) on halitosis as an alternative to chemical mouthwashes. The effect of this natural mouthwash on halitosis-causing bacteria (HCB) was clinically evaluated. Materials and Methods: A total of 84 subjects among 103 participants were recruited from the M Dental Clinic (Busan, South Korea) in this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The participants were divided into two groups: 41 in the saline-gargle group (saline group) and 43 in the LCE-gargle group (LCE group). A week before the experiment, scaling and oral health education were conducted to standardise the subjects' oral condition. For clinical evaluation, halitosis and HCB were evaluated pre-gargle (baseline), immediately after gargling (treatment), and 5 days after gargling (5 days post-treatment). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS for Windows. Results: The level of subjective improvement was statistically significantly greater in the LCE group than the saline group (p < 0.05). Compared with the saline group, the LCE group showed reduced halitosis after 5 days of application. Furthermore, halitosis statistically significantly decreased over time (p < 0.05). Moreover, the LCE group showed a statistically significant decrease in the number of all six HCBs (p < 0.05). Conclusion: LCE gargle was effective in reducing halitosis both subjectively and objectively, suggesting an antibacterial effect on HCBs in the oral cavity. Thus, LCE, which can be used as a safe mouthwash ingredient, can promote oral health and will be valuable for the oral healthcare product industry. It might also be helpful for people suffering from halitosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The association between sleeve gastrectomy and halitosis remains relatively unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on halitosis and the oral bacterial species associated with halitosis in patients with obesity. Methods: This was a prospective longitudinal cohort study that examined patients before and after sleeve gastrectomy and followed the patients at three time intervals (1, 3, and 6 months) after sleeve gastrectomy. Clinical periodontal measurements (plaque index [PI], gingival index [GI], and probing depth [PD]) were obtained. In addition, plaque samples were collected for quantification of the periodontopathogenic bacteria: Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, and Fusobacterium nucleatum using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). In addition, breath samples were collected to analyze the concentration of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), namely hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methyl mercaptan (CH3SH), and dimethyl sulfide (CH3SCH3), via portable gas chromatography (Oral Chroma™). Results: Of the 43 patients initially included, 39 completed the study, with a mean age of 32.2 ± 10.4 years. For PI and GI repeated measurements one way analysis of variance showed a significant increase (p-value

Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) directly affects oral health. Yet data about halitosis in young CKD patients and the impact of dental prophylaxis is limited. Therefore, as part of this randomized clinical trial, halitosis in young CKD patients undergoing intensive or standard oral preventive procedures was to be explored. Methods Three volatile sulfur compounds (hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulfide) were measured in 30 young patients with CKD (mean age 14.2 years; 16 males, 14 females). Breath samples were taken after 3 and 6 months and analyzed with selective gas chromatography (OralChroma). Tongue coating (Winkel Index) and clinical indices to determine local inflammation or oral hygiene (Papillary Bleeding Index and Quigley-Hein Index) were assessed. Within an extended anamnesis, patients and their mothers and nurses were questioned about the perceived halitosis. Corresponding quotes were noted verbatim. Patients were randomized to either intensive need-related oral health care measures (oral preventative program, OPP) or a one-stage standard prevention (treatment as usual, TAU). Results While there were no differences in volatile sulfur compound levels between TAU and OPP at the three time points of measurements (p > 0.05), there was a tendency towards a reduction in dimethyl sulfide and hydrogen sulfide of affected patients within the OPP group over time. Looking at potential differences between both groups with regard to tongue coating, significant differences were observed between baseline and 3 months after study start in the OPP group, and between baseline and 6 months after study start in the TAU group (p

- Abstract
Objective Methods Results Conclusions This study focused on the metabolic characteristics of tongue coating in patients with intra‐oral halitosis (IOH) to investigate potential diagnostic biomarkers for IOH.Oral healthy participants were enrolled in this study. Halitosis was evaluated with an organoleptic assessment, a Halimeter®, and an OralChroma™. Tongue coating samples were collected from 18 halitosis patients and 18 healthy controls. Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry was conducted to reveal the IOH‐related metabolic variations in tongue coating.A total of 2214 metabolites were obtained. Most metabolites were shared between the two groups. A total of 274 upregulated metabolites, such as paramethasone acetate and indole‐3‐acetic acid, and 43 downregulated metabolites, including deoxyadenosine and valyl‐arginine, were detected in the halitosis group. Functional analysis indicated that several metabolic pathways, including arginine biosynthesis, arginine and proline metabolism, histidine metabolism, and lysine degradation were significantly enriched in the IOH group. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator logistic regression analysis revealed that paramethasone acetate, {1‐[2‐(4‐carbamimidoyl‐benzoylamino)‐propionyl]‐piperidin‐4‐yloxy}‐acetic acid, indole‐3‐acetic acid, and valyl‐arginine were remarkably associated with IOH.This study revealed the metabolites present in tongue coating and identified effective biomarkers, providing essential insights into the prediction, pathogenesis, and diagnosis of IOH.

Halitosis, commonly known as bad breath, significantly impacts an individual's social life, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. While local oral factors predominantly cause halitosis, systemic conditions and hormonal changes, especially during pregnancy, can also influence its occurrence. Conducted at Al-Sader Teaching Hospital in Missan, Iraq, from October 2023 to February 2024, this cross-sectional study involved ninety female participants, divided equally into a patient group of pregnant women aged 20 to 40 years suffering from halitosis and a healthy control group of non-pregnant women. The study meticulously adhered to inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure a focused and relevant participant pool. Measurements of VSCs and salivary cortisol levels were undertaken using standardized methods and advanced technology. The study found a significant elevation in the levels of cortisol and VSCs among the pregnant group compared to the control group, suggesting that pregnancy-induced hormonal changes and stress response could contribute to or exacerbate conditions leading to halitosis. Elevated cortisol levels and VSCs in pregnant women underscore the multifaceted relationship between pregnancy, hormonal changes, stress, and oral health, particularly concerning halitosis.

- Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this systemic review and meta-analysis was to explore the association between halitosis and periodontitis in observational studies. Materials and methods: A systematic search covered PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library until August 18, 2023. Nine observational studies (585 cases, 1591 controls) were analyzed using Stata 17, with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses considered halitosis assessment methods. Results: The review found a positive association between halitosis and periodontitis. Significant differences were observed with organoleptic test (OR = 4.05, 95% CI: 1.76, 9.30, p < 0.01) and volatile sulfur compound readings (OR = 4.52, 95% CI: 1.89, 10.83, p < 0.01). Conclusions: A positive association was observed between halitosis and periodontitis, supported by significant differences in both organoleptic and volatile sulfur compound readings. However, conclusive findings are limited by statistical heterogeneity, emphasizing the need for additional research. Clinical relevance: Understanding the halitosis and periodontitis association is clinically significant, informing potential interventions for improved oral health. Further research is vital to refine understanding and guide effective clinical strategies, acknowledging the limitations in current findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The association between sleeve gastrectomy and halitosis remains relatively unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on halitosis and the oral bacterial species associated with halitosis in patients with obesity. This was a prospective longitudinal cohort study that examined patients before and after sleeve gastrectomy and followed the patients at three time intervals (1, 3, and 6 months) after sleeve gastrectomy. Clinical periodontal measurements (plaque index [PI], gingival index [GI], and probing depth [PD]) were obtained. In addition, plaque samples were collected for quantification of the periodontopathogenic bacteria: Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, and Fusobacterium nucleatum using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). In addition, breath samples were collected to analyze the concentration of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), namely hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methyl mercaptan (CH3SH), and dimethyl sulfide (CH3SCH3), via portable gas chromatography (Oral Chroma™). Of the 43 patients initially included, 39 completed the study, with a mean age of 32.2 ± 10.4 years. For PI and GI repeated measurements one way analysis of variance showed a significant increase (p-value < 0.001 for both) one month after surgery, with mean values of 1.3 and 1.59, respectively, compared to the baseline. During the same period, the number of P. gingivalis increased, with a p-value = 0.04. Similarly, the levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methyl mercaptan (CH3SH) increased significantly in the first month after surgery (p-value = 0.02 and 0.01, respectively). This study demonstrated that sleeve gastrectomy may lead to increased halitosis one month post-surgery, attributed to elevated and P. gingivalis counts, contributing to the development of gingivitis in obese patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy. This emphasizes the importance of including oral health professionals in the multidisciplinary team for the management of patients undergoing bariatric surgery [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: To compare photodynamic therapy and the use of probiotics in reducing halitosis assessed through gas chromatography and microbiome analysis. Methods: Participants aged from 18 to 25 years showing sulfide (SH2) ≥ 112 ppb on gas chromatography were selected. They were divided into four treatment groups: Group 1—Tongue Scraping; Group 2—Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT); Group 3—Probiotics; and Group 4—Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) and Probiotics. The halimetry process was performed before, immediately after the treatments, and 7 days, 14 days, and 30 days after the initial collection. The collections for later microbiological analysis were made along with the halimetry for microbiome analysis. Results: Treatment with aPDT or probiotics under these experimental conditions was not able to change the bacteria present in the biofilm of the tongue. Conclusions: More research is needed to know the behavior of the oral microbiome in the presence of halitosis and the effectiveness of new treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) directly affects oral health. Yet data about halitosis in young CKD patients and the impact of dental prophylaxis is limited. Therefore, as part of this randomized clinical trial, halitosis in young CKD patients undergoing intensive or standard oral preventive procedures was to be explored. Methods: Three volatile sulfur compounds (hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulfide) were measured in 30 young patients with CKD (mean age 14.2 years; 16 males, 14 females). Breath samples were taken after 3 and 6 months and analyzed with selective gas chromatography (OralChroma). Tongue coating (Winkel Index) and clinical indices to determine local inflammation or oral hygiene (Papillary Bleeding Index and Quigley-Hein Index) were assessed. Within an extended anamnesis, patients and their mothers and nurses were questioned about the perceived halitosis. Corresponding quotes were noted verbatim. Patients were randomized to either intensive need-related oral health care measures (oral preventative program, OPP) or a one-stage standard prevention (treatment as usual, TAU). Results: While there were no differences in volatile sulfur compound levels between TAU and OPP at the three time points of measurements (p > 0.05), there was a tendency towards a reduction in dimethyl sulfide and hydrogen sulfide of affected patients within the OPP group over time. Looking at potential differences between both groups with regard to tongue coating, significant differences were observed between baseline and 3 months after study start in the OPP group, and between baseline and 6 months after study start in the TAU group (p < 0.05). The burden of halitosis was frequently reported by patients' mothers and nurses. Conclusions: Young CKD patients regularly suffered from halitosis and dimethyl sulfide was its main source. Preventive measures mainly resulted in a reduction of tongue coating. Trial registration: The German Clinical Trial Register (# DRKS00010580). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment that is gaining popularity in modern clinical medicine. However, little is known about the effect of PDT alone on reducing oral halitosis and the duration of the effect. This trial examined the effect of PDT on the tongue dorsum on reducing oral halitosis and the duration of the effect. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Okayama University Hospital (CRB20-015), and it was registered in the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs061200060). Twenty-two participants were randomly assigned to two groups: an intervention group and control group. PDT was performed in the intervention group using red laser emission and methylene blue gel on the middle and posterior area of the tongue dorsum. The concentration of volatile sulfur compounds, bacterial count on the tongue dorsum, probing pocket depth, bleeding on probing, and simplified oral debris index score were determined before and 1 week after PDT. The Mann–Whitney U test was used to assess the significance of the differences in each parameter between the two groups. We found that the hydrogen sulfide concentration and bacterial count on the tongue dorsum were decreased in the intervention group, but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. These results indicated that performing only PDT on the tongue dorsum may not contribute to reducing halitosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of a combination of ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-PL), funme peptide (FP) as well as domiphen against oral pathogens, and assess the efficacy of a BOP® mouthwash supplemented with this combination in reducing halitosis and supragingival plaque in a clinical trial. Materials and methods: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the compound against Fusobacterium nucleatum, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Streptococcus mutans, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans were determined by the gradient dilution method. Subsequently, the CCK-8 assay was used to detect the toxicity of mouthwash on human gingival fibroblastst, and the effectiveness in reducing halitosis and supragingival plaque of the mouthwash supplemented with the combination was analyzed by a randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled clinical trial. Results: The combination exhibited significant inhibitory effects on tested oral pathogens with the MIC < 1.56% (v/v) and the MBC < 3.13% (v/v), and the mouthwash containing this combination did not inhibit the viability of human gingival fibroblasts at the test concentrations. The clinical trial showed that the test group displayed notably lower volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) at 0, 10, 24 h, and 7 d post-mouthwash (P < 0.05), compared with the baseline. After 7 days, the VSC levels of the and control groups were reduced by 50.27% and 32.12%, respectively, and notably cutting severe halitosis by 57.03% in the test group. Additionally, the Plaque Index (PLI) of the test and control group decreased by 54.55% and 8.38%, respectively, and there was a significant difference in PLI between the two groups after 7 days (P < 0.01). Conclusions: The combination of ε-PL, FP and domiphen demonstrated potent inhibitory and bactericidal effects against the tested oral pathogens, and the newly formulated mouthwash added with the combination exhibited anti-dental plaque and anti-halitosis properties in a clinical trial and was safe. Trial registration: The randomized controlled clinical trial was registered on Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (No. ChiCTR2300073816, Date: 21/07/2023). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Purpose: Bad breath as one of the problems of human societies can affect people's personal life and social relationships. In severe cases it may lead to depression, decreased self-confidence and sensitivity in interpersonal relationships. As a result, bad breath as a physical and psychological illness should be considered in both medical and psychologic fields. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the psychopathological aspects related to self-expression of halitosis. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, a 25- question SCL-25 questionnaire was used to investigate the consequences of halitosis. The Questionnaire was distributed between 222 patients referred to Dental Clinic of Golestan University of Medical Sciences with the entry criteria of 15 year old patients with self-reported of bad breath. The simple sampling method was performed and the data was analyzed using statistical software STATA version 14. Findings: Among 222 participants, 60.8% were women and 39.2% were men. Average overall index of disabling symptoms (GSI) was found to be 1.02±0.55 in the participants, according to which 90.5% were healthy and 9.5% were suspected of having psychological disorders. Paranoid thoughts, sensitivity in interpersonal relationships, obsession and compulsion were in the highest frequency.They showed psychological problems in the studied statistical population according to the determined cut-off point. Moreover, psychological disorders in all dimensions (except obsession, compulsion and depression) were significantly higher among women than men (p. 0.05). Conclusion: In the present research, 9.5% of people showed the possibility of suffering from some degree of psychological disorders and apart from the physiological treatment, the psychological status of patients with halitosis should be carefully evaluated. In addition, psychological intervention should be considered as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by uncontrolled blood sugar levels, which lead to end-organ damage. While the diagnosis and treatment of its complications have been extensively studied, the effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO
2 ) on diabetes-related oral complications remains unexplored. Aim: This prospective clinical study aims to investigate the effect of HBO2 on diabetes-related oral complications. Methods: Twenty patients diagnosed with diabetic foot ulcers and scheduled for HBO2 were included in this study. We recorded stimulated and unstimulated saliva pH, buffering capacity, flow rate, and subjective symptoms such as dry mouth, halitosis, taste loss, difficulty swallowing, and clinical examination findings before HBO2 and after the 21st session. Results: Upon comparing the findings, we observed a significant decrease in dry mouth and halitosis, periodontal disease severity, and healing of candida-related stomatitis and angular cheilitis. Despite not reaching statistical significance for other saliva parameters, the unstimulated salivary flow rate increased to normal limits (0.3-0.4 ml/min) in 6 out of 8 patients with a flow rate of less than 0.25 ml/min. Conclusion: Our study investigated the effect of HBO2 on diabetes-related oral complications for the first time, highlighting symptomatic relief for dry mouth and halitosis. Although our results are insufficient to report a definitive benefit, they underscore the need for further research on the oral health effects of HBO2 . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Halitosis, commonly known as oral malodor, is a multifactorial health concern that significantly impacts the psychological and social well-being of individuals. It is the third most frequent reason for individuals to seek dental treatment, after dental caries and periodontal diseases. For an in-depth exploration of the topic of halitosis, an extensive literature review was conducted. The review focused on articles published in peer-reviewed journals and only those written in the English language were considered. The search for relevant literature began by employing subject headings such as 'halitosis, oral malodor, volatile sulfur compounds, artificial intelligence, and olfaction' in databases such as PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and EMBASE. Additionally, a thorough hand search of references was conducted to ensure the comprehensiveness of the review. After amalgamating the search outcomes, a comprehensive analysis revealed the existence of precisely 134 full-text articles that bore relevance to the study. Abstracts and editorial letters were excluded from this study, and almost 50% of the full-text articles were deemed immaterial to dental practice. Out of the remaining articles, precisely 54 full-text articles were employed in this review. As primary healthcare providers, dentists are responsible for diagnosing and treating oral issues that may contribute to the development of halitosis. To effectively manage this condition, dentists must educate their patients about the underlying causes of halitosis, as well as proper oral hygiene practices such as tongue cleaning, flossing, and selecting appropriate mouthwash and toothpaste. This narrative review summarises all possible AI olfaction in halitosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since the human population realized how important it was to maintain overall health and the weight of disease, they have been looking for therapeutic qualities in natural environments. The use of plants having medicinal qualities for the treatment and prevention of illnesses that may have an impact on general health is known as herbal medicine. There has been a noticeable increase in interest lately in the combination of synthetic contemporary medications and traditional herbal remedies. About 80 % of people rely on it for healthcare, particularly in developing nations. One important aspect of overall health is said to be oral healthcare. The World Health Organization views oral health as a crucial component of overall health and well-being. Because they are more readily available, less expensive, and have fewer adverse effects than pharmaceutical treatments, using natural medicines to treat pathologic oro-dental disorders can make sense. The current evaluation of the literature sought to investigate the range and scope of the use of herbal products and their secondary metabolites in maintaining oral health, encompassing several oral healthcare domains such as halitosis, gingivitis, periodontitis, and other oral disorders. Therefore, there are many herbs discussed in this work and their mechanism in the treatment and improvement of many oral ailments. Besides, compounds that are useful in oral treatment with their natural sources and the cases where they can be used. To prevent any possible side effects or drug interactions, a doctor's consultation is necessary before using dental medicine. Although herbal therapy is safe and with minimum side effects, it is also strongly advised to do a more thorough preclinical and clinical evaluation before using herbal medicines officially.

Objective: This study aims to validate a protocol for a multidisciplinary management of delusional halitosis and to assess their outcome of treatment. Method: A prospective study of 61 patients with complaint of chronic bad breath and initial diagnosis of psychological halitosis after assessment with halitosis questionnaires and clinical examination. A final diagnosis of pseudo halitosis or delusional halitosis was made based on the patients’ response to oral hygiene prophylaxis, antimicrobial treatment and counseling for 2 weeks. The delusional halitosis patients were treated in a ‘Joint Clinic’ of oral medicine physician and mental health experts, using a 5-step treatment protocol over a 4-week period. Treatment outcomes for the delusional halitosis patients were evaluated using patient’s self-assessment, WHO well-being index, psychological score and other mental health instruments. Results: There were 33 (54.1%) delusional halitosis patients among the psychological halitosis patients. Twenty (60.6%) patients out of the 33 (100%) delusional halitosis patients attended the ‘joint clinic’. Six (30.0%) of the 20 treated patients had improved self-esteem, while only 1 (5.0%) and 3 (15.0%) showed improvement in state anxiety and trait anxiety respectively. Normal psychological score was found in 1 (25.0%) out of 4 (100%) patients that claimed to be ‘cured’, and 3 (50.0%) out of 6 (100%) patients had ‘improved’ final self-assessment. Conclusion: Preliminary findings suggest early signs of recovery, with improvement in self-esteem, anxiety and psychological problems in delusional halitosis patients.

BackgroundHalitosis, a socially and psychologically impactful condition often resulting from oral or systemic issues, is exacerbated by factors like aging, poor oral hygiene, and dietary choices. This study aimed to investigate the association between halitosis and stress by measuring salivary cortisol levels and the Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS).MethodsA cross-sectional study of 40 participants was conducted using questionnaires and clinical measurements to assess halitosis and stress levels. Saliva samples were collected and analyzed for cortisol using ELISA. Participants’ stress was assessed with the Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale Questionnaire (CPSS-10) questionnaire, and halitosis was measured with a Halimeter and self-assessment questionnaire. Clinical measurements included Plaque Index (PI) and the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) score.ResultsForty subjects were split into a halitosis group (mean age 30.75 ± 10.15) and group with no halitosis (mean age 26 ± 5.3). Objective measures confirmed higher halitosis scores (3.70 ± 0.73) in the halitosis group vs. the second group (2.60 ± 1.67).

Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) are two different types of arthritis. Within RA, the subsets between seronegative RA (snRA) and seropositive RA (spRA) represent distinct disease entities; however, identifying clear distinguishing markers between them remains a challenge. This study investigated and compared the oral health conditions in patients with RA and OA to clarify the differences from healthy controls. In addition, we investigated the serological characteristics of the patients, the factors that distinguished patients with RA from those with OA, and the main factors that differentiated between snRA and spRA patients. A total of 161 participants (mean age: 52.52 ± 14.57 years, 32 males and 129 females) were enrolled in this study and categorized as: normal (n = 33), OA (n = 31), and RA (n = 97). Patients with RA were divided into the following two subtypes: snRA (n = 18) and spRA (n = 79). Demographics, oral health, and serological characteristics of these patients were compared. The prevalence of periodontal diseases was significantly higher in patients with OA (100%) and RA (92.8%) than in healthy controls (0.0%). However, the presence of periodontal diseases was not utilized as a distinguishing factor between OA and RA. Xerostomia occurred more frequently in patients with RA (84.5%) than in patients with OA (3.2%) and healthy controls (0.0%) (all p

Aims: Data on halitosis among individuals with Down syndrome (DS) are scarce. The aim was to evaluate factors associated with the occurrence of halitosis reported by parents/caregivers (P/Cs) in individuals with DS. Methods and Results: A cross‐sectional study was conducted in non‐governmental assistance institutions in the State of Minas Gerais—Brazil. P/Cs have answered an electronic questionnaire with sociodemographic, behavioral and oral health data. Factors associated with halitosis were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression. The sample comprised 227 P/Cs (age 48.8 ± 13.2 years; 82.9% mothers) of individuals with DS (age 20.8 ± 13.5 years). The prevalence of halitosis in the total sample was 34.4% (n = 78) and its occurrence was associated: 1) in individuals with DS ≤18 years old (26.2%; n = 27)—negative perception of oral health (OR = 3.91); 2) in individuals with DS > 18 years (41.1%; n = 51)—gingival bleeding (OR = 4.53), absence of tongue brushing (OR = 4.50), negative perception of oral health (OR = 2.72). Conclusions: The occurrence of halitosis in individuals with DS reported by P/Cs was relevant and associated with dental factors, having a negative impact on the perception of oral health. Oral hygiene practices, especially tongue brushing, should be reinforced to prevent and control halitosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
