Oral Malodour and Periodontal Disease-related Parameters. Clinical and Real-time PCR Findings
In Brief
An observational study for Halitosis and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 78 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The primary aim of the current study was to determine the association between halitosis detection (presence or absence) and periodontal status in non-smoking subjects, and also assess whether halitosis recordings were related to periodontal clinical parameters, tongue coating and quantities of two putative periodontal pathogens on the posterior region of the tongue determined by real-time PCR. Secondary, halitosis recordings were compared among subjects with chronic periodontitis, chronic generalized gingivitis and periodontal health.
