To evaluate oral and nasal halitosis parameters in patients with and without clefts.
Randomized and prospective study. Patients with and without clefts were evaluated as to oral and nasal halitosis.
University of São Paulo, Bauru Dental School and Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, Bauru, Brazil.
Twelve patients with clefts and 12 without clefts were evaluated, and no exclusion criteria were followed.
Nasal and oral halitosis were measured with the use of a portable sulfide monitor during a single visit.
One hundred percent of the patients with clefts had altered values for volatile sulfur compounds. Only 33.3% of the patients without clefts had at least one strong value for nasal halimeter measurements, and 58.3% of these patients showed alteration in the nasal values. Statistical evaluation, made using the Mann-Whitney U test, classifying the nasal halimeter values as normal, weak, and strong, showing a statistical significant group difference (p = .003). There was no significant difference in the oral halimeter values between the two groups.
Patients with cleft lip and palate had a tendency to present higher values for the nasal halimeter measurements, when compared with patients without clefts.
评估有腭裂和无腭裂患者的口腔和鼻腔口臭参数。
随机前瞻性研究。对有腭裂和无腭裂患者的口腔和鼻腔口臭情况进行评估。
巴西圣保罗大学鲍鲁牙科学院及颅面畸形康复医院。
评估了12例有腭裂患者和12例无腭裂患者，未遵循任何排除标准。
在单次就诊期间使用便携式硫化物监测仪测量鼻腔和口腔口臭情况。
100%的腭裂患者挥发性硫化物值异常。无腭裂患者中只有33.3%的患者鼻腔口气测量仪至少有一项强值，且这些患者中有58.3%鼻腔值异常。使用曼-惠特尼U检验进行统计评估，将鼻腔口气测量仪值分为正常、弱和强，显示两组间有统计学显著差异（p = 0.003）。两组间口腔口气测量仪值无显著差异。
与无腭裂患者相比，唇腭裂患者鼻腔口气测量仪值往往更高。
