“…The significant reductions in numbers of these bacteria produced by the EO mouthrinse, both in plaque and on the dorsum of the tongue, can play a key role in explaining the EO mouthrinse's effectiveness in reducing supragingival plaque and gingivitis as well as its effectiveness in controlling intrinsic oral malodor throughout the test period of 14 days. 54 …”

“…10 Substrates for volatile sulfide compounds production are sulfur-containing amino-acids such as cysteine, cystine and methionine present in saliva or gingival fluid. 11 Several microorganisms recovered from periodontal lesions of gingivitis and Braz Oral Res 2008;22(Spec Iss 1): [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] periodontitis are related to produce large amounts of these volatile sulfur compounds. 10 The bacterial interactions are most likely to occur in the gingival crevices and periodontal pockets, but oral malodor can also arise from the posterior dorsal tongue.…”

Halitosis: a review of associated factors and therapeutic approach

Halitosis or bad breath is an oral health condition characterized by unpleasant odors emanating consistently from the oral cavity. The origin of halitosis may be related both to systemic and oral conditions, but a large percentage of cases, about 85%, are generally related to an oral cause. Causes include certain foods, poor oral health care, improper cleaning of dentures, dry mouth, tobacco products and medical conditions. Oral causes are related to deep carious lesions, periodontal disease, oral infections, peri-implant disease, pericoronitis, mucosal ulcerations, impacted food or debris and, mainly, tongue coating. Thus, the aim of the present review was to describe the etiological factors, prevalence data and the therapeutic mechanical and chemical approaches related to halitosis. In general, halitosis most often results from the microbial degradation of oral organic substrates including volatile sulfur compounds (VSC). So far, there are few studies evaluating the prevalence of oral malodor in the world population. These studies reported rates ranging from 22% to more than 50%. The mechanical and chemical treatment of halitosis has been addressed by several studies in the past four decades. Many authors agree that the solution of halitosis problems must include the reduction of the intraoral bacterial load and/or the conversion of VSC to nonvolatile substrates. This could be achieved by therapy procedures that reduce the amount of microorganisms and substrates, especially on the tongue.

This paper reviews the benefits of the use of antimicrobial mouthrinses for controlling dental biofilm. It is currently known that the human oral cavity is inhabited by approximately 600 to 700 different species of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi and viruses, organized in biofilms. Biofilm accumulation represents the principal etiologic agent of oral diseases including caries and periodontal diseases. For that reason, prevention of biofilm accumulation has been shown to be associated with the control of diseases. Patient motivation and oral hygiene instruction are claimed to be a major factor influencing the degree of biofilm control. Therefore, mechanical home-care methods, including toothbrushing and flossing, represent the best way for patients to remove biofilm. For many patients, however, the elimination of all biofilm present in the oral cavity through home-care methods could be tedious and time-consuming. Additionally, some local conditions, including malpositioned teeth, presence of bridge-work or orthodontic appliances, among others, may render the mechanical control of biofilm especially difficult. Chemotherapeutic agents, including mouthrinses, could have a key role as adjuncts to daily home care, preventing and controlling supragingival plaque, gingivitis and oral malodor. Indeed, according to the ADA, the active ingredients of mouthwashes must demonstrate a therapeutic effect in vivo and in vitro to be classified as drugs. Several studies included in the present review have demonstrated the effectiveness of mouthrinses containing active ingredients such as chlorhexidine and essential oils in preventing and controlling both supragingival plaque and gingivitis, especially when used adjunctively to regular toothbrushing and flossing procedures. Descriptors: Dental plaque; Oral hygiene; Anti-infective agents, local; Chlorhexidine.Resumo: O propósito desta revisão foi mostrar os benefícios decorrentes do uso de enxaguatórios bucais no controle do biofilme dental. Atualmente sabe-se que a cavidade bucal dos humanos é habitada por aproximadamente de 600 a 700 espécies microbianas incluindo bactérias, fungos e vírus. Este aglomerado microbiano, atualmente definido como biofilme dental, é o principal agente etiológico das patologias bucais, incluindo cárie e doença periodontal. Logo, cuidados em relação ao controle destas doenças passam necessariamente pela eliminação ou redução do biofilme dental, incluindo métodos mecânicos adequados de higiene bucal e motivação do paciente. Todavia, a escovação dental e o uso de fio dental podem ser uma tarefa tediosa e consumir tempo exagerado para a rotina de muitos pacientes. Além disso, o controle mecânico do biofilme dental pode ser dificultado por fatores locais como uso de próteses e aparelhos ortodônticos, mau posicionamento dental, entre outros. Assim, o uso de enxaguatórios bucais, associado ao controle mecânico, pode ser incorporado rotineiramente aos cuidados de higiene bucal controlando terapêutica e preventivamente o biofilme supragengiva...

Patients frequently fail to achieve an optimal mechanical plaque control. However, many patients are not confident about using mouthrinses, and many professionals refuse to prescribe them for regular daily use. Aiming at achieving a better understanding of the use and prescription of mouthrinses in periodontics, 24 dentists with different dental educational levels were purposively chosen and interviewed in a qualitative research. Partial data was presented at the 15th Congress of the Brazilian Association for Oral Health Promotion (ABOPREV), and full data was presented at the 88th General Session and Exhibition of the International Association for Dental Research (IADR). The professionals' answers were confirmed or rejected through scientific data analysis. Additionally, scientifically supported answers were provided for the interviewees' most frequent unanswered questions. Around half of the participants (46%) reported that they recommended the use of mouthrinses, although a high percentage (64%) of the dentists answered that they knew very little about the efficacy of mouthrinses and also about the oral benefits (54%) provided by them. All interviewees reported that they were aware of the fact that their patients, and themselves, failed to floss and, less frequently, to brush their teeth, and all of them believed that oral health impacts overall systemic health. Seventy five percent answered that using mouthrinses was safe. Most participants (55%) did not declare themselves as mouthrinse users. We concluded that dentists with different levels of dental education have only partial knowledge related to mouthrinse use in periodontics. The use of effective mouthrinses on a daily basis is justified and can help patients achieve or maintain a healthier mouth. A healthier mouth will positively impact patients' quality of life and could also benefit their overall systemic health
