| 1 | Halitosis:the multidisciplinary approach显示文摘Halitosis,bad breath or oral malodour are all synonyms for the same pathology. Halitosis has a large social and economic impact. For the majority of patients suffering from bad breath,it causes embarrassment and affects their social communication and life. Moreover,halitosis can be indicative of underlying diseases. Only a limited number of scientific publications were presented in this field until 1995. Ever since,a large amount of research is published,often with lack of evidence. In general,intraoral conditions,like insufficient dental hygiene,periodontitis or tongue coating are considered to be the most important cause (85%) for halitosis. Therefore,dentists and periodontologists are the first-line professionals to be confronted with this problem. They should be well aware of the origin,the detection and especially of the treatment of this pathology. In addition,ear-nose-throat-associated (10%) or gastrointestinal/ endocrinological (5%) disorders may contribute to the problem. In the case of halitophobia,psychiatrical or psychological problems may be present. Bad breath needs a multidisciplinary team approach:dentists,periodontologists,specialists in family medicine,ear-nose-throat surgeons,internal medicine and psychiatry need to be updated in this field,which still is surrounded by a large taboo. Multidisciplinary bad breath clinics offer the best environment to examine and treat this pathology that affects around 25% of the whole population. This article describes the origin,detection and treatment of halitosis,regarded from the different etiological origins. | Curd ML Bollen Thomas Beikler | 2012 | International Journal of Oral Science2012，4，2： | 7 |
