| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Halitosis affects about one in four adults and frequently is caused by bacteria infecting the dorsal surface of the tongue and producing volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). The aim of this study was to develop of the simple oral halitosis detection kit using culture method. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Nihon University School of Dentistry, Matsudo (EC 12-014). Halitosis was confirmed by means of organoleptic assessment and VSC levels measured using sensor gas chromatograph, ODSA-P2 (FIS, Hyogo, Japan).
It was indicated that the simple oral halitosis detection kit using culture method developed in this study is useful clinically, and can greatly contribute to the halitosis diagnosis.
Moreover, after investigating of oral bacteria concerned with halitosis, it was suggested that genus Veillonella correlated with halitosis principally.
