Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study revealed that the oral function promotion program contributed to the improvement of oral bacterial count, saliva chromaticity, saliva turbidity and salivary viscosity which are related to the risk of caries and periodontal disease in short period and long period. Moreover, this study indicated that salivary viscosity as well as tongue coating were significant risk factors for halitosis measured by concentrations of H2S, CH3SH, (CH3)2S, total VSCs, and the organoleptic score.
