This study was carried out to see the effect of dental auxiliary product groups being used in case of not being able to brush teeth. This study was executed for 70 students in the Dept. of Dental Hygiene of S Health College, and it was divided into the group which used brushing teeth, the one which used only dental auxiliary products, the one which did onion juice gargle, etc, and measured the effect on the reduction of oral malodor. The experimental results of the study were as below. 1) After onion juice gargle, in the experimental group A which brushed teeth, it showed lasting decrease of oral malodor until 20 min since the experiment, and after 30 min, the degree of oral malodor started to increase again. 2) After onion juice gargle, the result of the experimental group B which took only supplementary products such as garglin, chewing gum, intaking green tea with roasted rice & brushing a tongue and so on, was as follows. First, in case of experimental group BG which used garglin, until 30 min has passed since the experiment, it showed the lasting reduction of oral malodor as the same trend with the experimental group BG. Second, in chewing gum (experimental group BC), intaking green tea with roasted rice (experimental group BT), and brushing a tongue (experimental group BO), continuous reduction of oral malodor was shown until 10 minutes has passed since the experiment, but, after 20 minutes, we could see the degree of oral malodor started to increase again. 3) After onion juice gargle, in the experimental group C which only the degree of oral malodor was measured with the passage of time, neither brushing teeth nor using auxiliary goods, until 30 min since the experiment, it showed the similar trend of the reduction of oral malodor with other experimental groups, but, it showed high degree of oral malodor, as compared with other experimental groups A and B.
