Abstract

|
|
This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between systemic diseases and oral malodor. The author measured the volatile sulfur compound(VSC) of the patients who visited Pusan National University Health Promote Center for a comprehensive medical testing.
The patients were examined gingival bleeding on probing, CPI index, tongue coating. Their systemic diseases were diagnosed by the specialist. 182 patients consisted of 112 males and 70 females.
In this study, Oral Chroma® was used to measure oral malodor. This equipment could measure the concentration of intraoral VSC (hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl disulfide).
All data were analylized using Statistical Package for the Social Science 12.0®
The result of this study was the followings.
1. There was significant difference of numbers of patient who visited health care center according to the VSC concentration level and the Community Periodontal Index, bleeding on probing, tongue coating.
2. The subjects with hyperlipidemia showed the high level of CH₃SH concentration (p=0.036). The concentration of H₂S tends to be high in the group with abnormal findings on pulmonary fuction test(p=0.086). The concentration of CH₃SH in the groups with abnormal findings on lipid profile test(p=0.130) and bone mineral density test(p=0.099) and abdominal ultrasonograpy(p=0.088) tends to be higher than the other group.
3. The concentration of (CH₃)₂S in the group with abnormal findings on blood pressure test(p=0.113), hepatitis B virus serology(p=0.069), Abdominal ultrasonograpy(p=0.091) tend to be higher than the other group.
