An overview is presented on the etiology, diagnosis, and therapy of halitosis.
Results are given of our multidisciplinary halitosis outpatient department started in 1994. The team consists of ENT specialists and paradontologists, occasionally assisted by a psychiatrist. The oral odor is confirmed with a halitometer (Interscan Corporation, Model RH-17E USA). 491 Patients, nearly the same number of males as females, mostly between 20 and 50 years of age were seen.
Oral causes (87%) were due to tongue coating (51%), gingivitis (17%), paradontitis (15%), or combinations of factors (17%). The other 13% involved causes related to ENT problems (4%), both ENT and oral (3%), digestive tract (1%), and presumed psychiatric pathology (5%).
Many patients underwent diagnostic and therapeutic aimed interventions to no avail prior to their arrival in our halitosis clinic. Usually advising the patient to maintain better oral hygiene is sufficient.
本文概述了口臭的病因、诊断及治疗方法。
给出了我们自1994年起设立的多学科口臭门诊的结果。该团队由耳鼻喉科专家和牙周病专家组成，偶尔会有精神科医生协助。使用口臭测量仪（Interscan公司，美国型号RH - 17E）确认口腔异味。共诊治了491例患者，男女数量几乎相同，年龄大多在20至50岁之间。
口腔原因（87%）包括舌苔（51%）、牙龈炎（17%）、牙周炎（15%）或多种因素组合（17%）。另外13%涉及与耳鼻喉问题相关的原因（4%）、耳鼻喉和口腔问题均有的情况（3%）、消化道问题（1%）以及疑似精神病理问题（5%）。
许多患者在来到我们的口臭门诊之前，接受了诊断性和治疗性的针对性干预，但均无效果。通常建议患者保持更好的口腔卫生就足够了。
