This article reviews the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of oral malodor from a periodontal perspective. The connections among periodontal pathogenic microorganisms, periodontal disease and oral malodor have been strongly implicated but not proved. Although oral malodor is probably not caused by periodontal disease, there is ample evidence to suggest that periodontal disease increases the severity of oral malodor.
本文从牙周病学角度综述了口腔异味的病因、诊断和治疗。牙周病原微生物、牙周病和口腔异味之间的联系虽备受关注但尚未得到证实。虽然口腔异味可能并非由牙周病引起，但有充分证据表明牙周病会加重口腔异味的严重程度。
