Research Abstract |
An elderly population aged 70 years was investigated influence of the volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) in oral cavity at the baseline on periodontal disease progression in longitudinal studies. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the group with high VSC level has a higher risk of a periodontal disease progression. Moreover, in VSC, especially methyl mercaptan might be greatly involved in the periodontal disease progression.
