“…In addition, Nalcaci et al, [11] showed that age, prevalence of dental caries played a significant role in the aetiology of mal-odour. Non-oral causes of halitosis include disturbances of upper and lower respiratory tract, diseases of gastrointestinal tract, some systemic diseases, metabolic disorders, medications and carcinomas.…”

Background: Halitosis is an unpleasant or offensive odour emanating from the breath. The aim of this study is to determine the depth of knowledge of diagnosis and management of halitosis among Nigerian dentists. Methods: A self administered questionnaire was designed and circulated among 80 dentists practicing in Nigeria. We assessed the knowledge of the diagnosis of halitosis, the success rate of treatment, limitations and comments on adverse effects of halitosis. Results: The Nigerian dentists assessed were categorized into 3 groups namely A,B and C according to the number of years of clinical experience. Group A dentists are 38(47.5%) of the total, their perception of the aetiology of halitosis was poor oral hygiene in 10.1%, caries and periodontal diseases in 27%, psychogenic causes 29.7% and causes from systemic diseases 32.4%. 47(58.5%) dentists carried out various investigations in the diagnosis of halitosis. Majority agreed that psychological factors did play a role in the aetiology of halitosis. Conclusion:The study reviewed the knowledge, diagnostic methods, perception of adverse effects of halitosis among Nigerian dentists and reasons for limitation of successful treatment.

Aim:The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of halitosis in an adult Turkish subpopulation and to assess the relationship between halitosis and sociodemographics, self reported halitosis, etiological factors, by employing standardized procedures for measurement of halitosis. Methods: The study included 459 subjects who referred to oral diagnosis clinic of Gazi University Faculty Of Dentistry. The questionnaire including the questions of sociodemographic data, halitosis complaints, oral hygiene practices, extrinsic causes and extra-oral causes. In the clinical examination, dentition and soft tissues were evaluated. Tongue coating status, periodontal index, gingival index and plaque index were recorded. Values for halitosis were assessed by measurement of volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) using portable sulphide monitor. Results: The questionnaire revealed that 46.6% of the subjects suffered from halitosis and females sufferred from halitosis more frequently than males. The prevalence of halitosis was 50.7% . A significant correlation was found between halitosis and tongue coating, periodontitis, gingivitis though PI did not affect halitosis. There were not significant correlations between halitosis and oral hygiene practices, extrinsic causes and extra-oral causes. Conclusion: This study showed that there was a high prevalence of halitosis in the Turkish population and the most important factors that influence halitosis were intra-oral causes. Keywords: Epidemiology, halitosis, VSCs ÖZ Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı erişkin bir grup Türk populasyonunda halitozisin görülme sıklığını, sosyokültürel faktörleri, halitozis şikayeti ve etiyolojik faktörlerin araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya, Gazi üniversitesi Oral Diagnoz Kliniğine başvuran 18 yaşından büyük 459 erişkin hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların sosyo-kültürel durumları, halitozis şikayeti, oral hijyen alışkanlıkları, ekstrensek faktörleri ve ağız dışı nedenleri sorgulayan anemnez formları dolduruldu. Klinik muayenede dentisyon ve yumuşak dokular değerlendirildi ve dil yüzeyindeki birikintiler, periodontal durum indeksi, gingival indeks ve plak indeksleri kaydedildi. Halitozis portatif sülfür monitörü kullanılarak volatil sülfür bileşikleri (VSB) seviyesi ölçülerek değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Ankete göre, hastaların %46.6' sı halitozisden şikayetçidir.Hastaların % 50.7'sinde halitozis vardır. Halitozis ile periodontal durum, dil yüzeyi birikinti miktarı, gingival durum arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Plak indeks değerleri, oral hijyen alışkanlıkları, ekstrensek faktörler ve ağız dışı nedenler ile halitozis arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçlarına göre halitozis Türk populasyonunda yaygındır ve halitozisi etkileyen en önemli nedenler ağız-içi faktörlerdir.

“…Many studies on self reported halitosis have stressed that the problem of bad breath is often not self-perceived 3 . In some cases, there is a reduced chance of self detection of oral malodour because the path between the inhaled and exhaled air diverge (while exhaled air travels horizontally, inhaled air travels primarily vertically) 10,11,12 . The unfortunate fact is that many people do not know that they have a breath problem unless someone directly informs them.…”

“…The principal bacteria that have been implicated include Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella intermedia and Tannerella forsythensis 14,15 . The VSCs produce different types of oral malodour and to varying degrees 11,12 . Successful treatment of halitosis depends on the correct diagnosis of the type of halitosis and is categorized into five approaches enabling precise sequential treatment protocol 17,18 .…”

Background: Halitosis is defined as a noticeable unpleasant odor from the mouth. It is a medico-social problem that affects a significant number of people around the world. Research reveals that nearly 50% of the adult population has halitosis. Objectives: To determine level of awareness of halitosis and prevalence of the condition amongst students in tertiary institutions as a baseline survey. Methods: For this project, 100 students from three tertiary institutions in Lagos state were chosen: University of Lagos, Lagos State University, Ojo campus and Yaba College of Technology. A semi-structured questionnaire and practical testing/ diagnostic tool were utilized. Data collected was collated and analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2007 and SPSS statistical software. Results: Most of the respondents were single and Christian. Level of awareness of halitosis was high. Results showed that 15%, 2% and 22% from UNILAG, LASU and YCT respectively said they had halitosis. Using the diagnostic tool, 6%, 8% and 2% respectively were positive for halitosis. Conclusions: There is high level of awareness of halitosis among the respondents. The prevalence of the disorder is low, however, it is recommended that enlightenment campaigns be mounted in schools to improve level of awareness and treatment seeking.
