“…Therefore, it is considered the primary source of bacteria in the oral cavity and the principal cause of halitosis. 27,39 In our survey, females were more likely to report having halitosis than males. However, the number of female participants in the study exceeded the number of male participants, so it was impossible to assess whether one gender was more affected.…”

Halitosis is a common condition disturbing a significant number of people worldwide. 1,2 Overall, the occurrence of this problem is high and has a substantial impact on the quality of life of the affected individuals. In addition, patients suffering from halitosis may display avoidance behaviours due to social insecurities and fear of rejection. [3][4][5] The aetiology of halitosis is complex involving several oral and medical conditions. However, in the majority of cases, the oral cavity is responsible for the mouth malodour. Halitosis originating from the mouth is usually the result of microbial metabolism of the plaque biofilm. Bacterial niches such as the tongue surface,

“…Although orthodontic treatment can improve the quality of life of patients, there could be some difficulties during the treatment procedure such as dietary limitations, oral hygiene problems, and pain [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Patients with fixed orthodontic appliances could feel pain when chewing food [ 6 ] and are likely to feel annoyed with food impaction in orthodontic brackets or archwires [ 7 ]. Social disability can also be found during orthodontic treatment, as patients may feel embarrassed to smile or to have a meal in public [ 3 ].…”

Patients with a fixed orthodontic appliance may have difficulties in maintaining good oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and evaluating self-perceived OHRQoL in orthodontic patients could be challenging for their orthodontists. Therefore, this research was conducted to investigate whether orthodontic postgraduates would accurately evaluate the OHRQoL of their patients. Two self-administered questionnaires were designed for patients to rate their OHRQoL and for their orthodontic postgraduates to evaluate them on OHRQoL. All pairs of patients and their orthodontic postgraduates were requested to independently complete the questionnaires. Pearson’s correlation and multiple linear regression were performed to determine the relationships of the variables and to identify significant predictors on OHRQoL, respectively. There were 132 pairs of orthodontic patients and their residents who completed the questionnaires. There were no significant correlations between OHRQoL perceived by patients and evaluated by their orthodontic postgraduates in all aspects of treatment needs and dietary difficulties (p > 0.05). In addition, the regression model demonstrated no significant predictors for the self-perceived treatment needs and dietary difficulties of orthodontic patients. There seemed to be challenges for orthodontic postgraduates to evaluate their patients’ oral health-related quality of life. Therefore, the OHRQoL measures should be increasingly implemented in orthodontic education and practice in order to enhance the concept of patient-centered care.
