o bjectives: gastric infection with helicobacter pylori may be one of the main causes of halitosis. this study was performed to evaluate the relationship of heli- cobacter pylori infection with halitosis. materials and methods : this case control study was performed on 44 dyspeptic patients with a mean age of 34.29±13.71 years (range 17 to 76 years). the case group included 22 patients with hal...

BACKGROUND The oral cavity can be an extra-gastric reservoir for Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori). This can play a role in the pathogenesis of halitosis, glossitis, recurrent aphthous stomatitis, and dental caries. The present study was conducted to detect the presence of H.pylori within the dental biofilm and in saliva samples collected from children suffering from dyspepsia and children without...

The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate whether a recently described multi-sensor approach called BIONOTE(®) is accurate enough to verify the efficacy of treatment of patients with halitosis. A treatment with Lactobacillus brevis (CD2)-containing lozenges, compared with placebo was tested. The BIONOTE(®) was compared with traditional techniques used to detect halitosis: OralCh...

Objectives: This in-vitro study aimed to investigate the effect of five different types mouth rinses used for halitosis on color stability and surface roughness two restorative materials. Materials Methods: In this study, a total 120 disc-shaped samples (10x2mm) were prepared with nano-hybrid resin composite (Filtek Z550) giomer (Beautifill II) Randomly selected divided into six groups as (List...

OBJECTIVE The interest in the study of the tongue papillary niches and the related biofilm has increased in recent years because they form a suitable source of periodontal microorganisms and are associated with development of halitosis. Tongue dorsum structure represents a factor favoring a particular and complex bacterial biofilm where periodontal pathogens are frequently found. The aim of thi...

AIM To evaluate the effect of different mouth rinses 12 h after rinsing on genuine intra-oral halitosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four adults with halitosis were included in a double-blind, crossover, randomized clinical trial. Halitosis was evaluated 12 h after rinsing with placebo and five mouth rinse products containing zinc acetate and chlorhexidine diacetate; zinc lactate, chlorhexid...
