“…Conventional treatment of intra-oral halitosis is to reduce microbes via chemical treatment, with mouthwashes, and/or mechanically for example by a tongue scraper or a tongue brush [ 23 ]. Chemical ingredients used to control oral malodor include chlorhexidine, triclosan, cetylpyridine chloride, zinc ions, and chlorine oxide, as well as essential oils [ 24 ].…”

“…However, preparations containing chlorhexidine or combinations of chlorhexidine, cetylpyridine chloride, and zinc are the most effective [ 9 , 24 ]. Chemicals contained in mouthwashes, while providing effective and immediate relief, are only a temporary solution [ 23 ]. Mechanical methods have some disadvantages—they can cause a feeling of discomfort and induction of a gag reflex when performing hygienic procedures; there is also no standardized technique for performing them [ 23 ].…”

The aim of this work is a review of recent information about halitosis among patients using prosthetic dentures. Halitosis is a condition in which an unpleasant smell comes out of the oral cavity, which is caused mainly by volatile sulfur and non-sulfured compounds. The etiology of halitosis may be intra- or extra-oral; in most patients, however, it is due to the activity of microorganisms in the oral cavity. The problem of the occurrence of halitosis has accompanied patients for many years. In dental prosthetics, the problem of halitosis occurs in patients using removable or fixed dentures. In both cases, new niches for the development of microorganisms may be created, including those related to halitosis. It should be noted that dentures—both fixed and removable—are a foreign body placed in the patient’s oral cavity which, in case of insufficient hygiene, may constitute a reservoir of microorganisms, causing this unpleasant condition. Conventional treatment of intraoral halitosis reduces microbial activity via chemical and/or mechanical action. Currently, the search for new strategies in the treatment of halitosis is in progress. One idea is to use photodynamic therapy, while another is to modify poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with silver and graphene nanoparticles. Additionally, attempts have been made to combine those two methods. Another unconventional method of treating halitosis is the use of probiotics.

“…Therefore, it can be considered for treating halitosis, particularly in the older population. 9 It was also reported that Lacer Hali TM could be used as an alternative to chlorhexidine based toothpaste and mouthwashes for the management of halitosis. 10 …”

Effectiveness of lasers and aPDT in elimination of intraoral halitosis: a systematic review based on clinical trials

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in research showing positive results in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and laser therapy (LT) in dentistry. The authors of this review tried to answer the question: “Is the effectiveness of lasers and aPDT in the elimination of intraoral halitosis possible?” For this purpose, the electronic database of PubMed and Cochrane Library were searched until September 2021 using a combination of different keywords: (bad breath OR fetor ex ore OR halitosis OR oral malodor) AND (laser OR PDT OR PACT OR photodynamic inactivation OR photodynamic therapy OR photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy). Initially, 83 studies were identified. A total of 9 articles were qualified after the application of the eligibility criteria. Eight works concerned aPDT treatment, and only one dedicated to the Er,Cr:YSGG laser. A significant reduction in halitosis occurred immediately after both LT and aPDT. The review found the confirmation of the effectiveness of laser therapy in reducing the number of volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) and the amount of anaerobic bacteria responsible for VSC formation. In most studies, a positive effect was observed for a 1-week follow-up. Laser therapy (aPDT, Er,Cr:YSGG) effectively eliminates microorganisms that produce volatile compounds and can effectively eliminate bad breath for the longer period of time than traditional methods of combatting this ailment.
