| Research Abstract |
We developed a novel colorimetric system for direct detection of hydrogen sulfide on the tongue dorsum from subjects with complaints of halitosis. The results of this study suggested that the novel assay system can be used as a visual warning sensor for halitosis by measuring hydrogen sulfide on the tongue dorsum.
