Objective: This study aimed to find how obsessive?compulsive disorder, one of the psychogenic factors of oral malodor, affects actual oral malodor measurements in patients complaining of oral malodor. It aimed to find the correlation and make oral malodor care more efficient.
Materials and method: Measurements of self?awareness, 30 questions of MOCI, and oral cavity gas by BB checker were made. The correlation between symptom distribution and obsessive?compulsive disorder was found out, and the questions for obsessive?compulsiveness were found out.
Results: 44% (the largest portion) of patients complaining of oral malodor were in degree 4 (those who clearly felt their malodor and those around them felt it clearly too), and 16% (the smallest portion) were in degree 1 (those who felt some slight malodor themselves but those around them could not feel the odor). Therefore most thought that they have oral malodor. Examination of patients complaining of oral malodor according to Maudsley obsessive?compulsive criteria showed that 93% were normal, 5% had mild obsessive?compulsive disorder, and 2% had severe obsessive?compulsive disorder. Measurement of actual oral malodor showed that there was less oral malodor in patients with more severe obsessive?compulsive disorder, and there were significant differences between 3 groups (p＜0.01). The percentage of patients with severe obsessive?compulsive disorder but without actual oral malodor was found to be about 2%.
Conclusion: It was advised that the Maudsley obsessive compulsive inventory be used adequately in clinical oral malodor care, since it can contribute to the discrimination of psychogenic factors.
