Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: The author conducted this study to identify the correlation between the oral microbes and the halitosis.
Methods: The severity of the halitosis depending on the level of oral microbes was analyzed and reviewed by conducting the oral examination, the halitosis test and the oral microbes test in 254 volunteers who had visited the Department of Preventative Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Dankook University.
Results: At the results of the correlation between the amount of oral microbes and the halitosis measurements in the subject with prevalence of oral microbes, the amount of Streptococcus mutans was correlated with the measurements of hydrogen sulfide and dimethyl sulfide and the volatile sulfur compounds. And also the amount of Porphyromonas gingivalis was correlated with measurements of the volatile sulfur compounds.
Conclusion: As the amounts of P. gingivalis and S. mutans were correlated to the total amount of volatile sulfur compounds, it was considered that controlling these two bacteria would be critical for diagnosis and treatment of the halitosis in the future.
