| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess oral malodor in highly caries-active children aged 7-15 years, analyze its association with oral malodor parameters, and investigate whether oral hygiene practices and orodental treatments can decrease the effect of oral malodor. STUDY DESIGN: The study included a total of 30 subjects with high caries activity (11 boys and 19 girls), mean age 10.5 +/- 2.4 years, who were living in Kirikkale, Middle Anatolia, Turkey. Oral malodor assessment was carried out by portable sulfide monitor and organoleptic method. A self-administered structured questionnaire was given to the participants. The baseline and final measurements were taken for both malodor-related parameters (volatile sulfur compounds [VSCs] and organoleptic ratings) and dental parameters (tongue coating scores [TCS], plaque index [PI], dental index [DFS+DMFS], community periodontal index of treatment needs [CPITN]). Analysis included frequency, cross-tabulations, analysis of variance, independent-samples t test,and paired t test. Odds ratios of VSC-related factors were also calculated. Significance was set at the 5% level. RESULTS: Gender, DFS+DMFS, and frequency of toothbrushing were not found to be significantly correlated with either VSC levels in mouth air or organoleptic ratings (P > .05). However, tongue coating (P = .003), CPITN (P = .014), PI (P = .017), and age (P = .053) were significantly correlated with VSC levels in mouth air. Regarding the final recordings, significant correlation (P < .001) was found between VSC levels and TCS. Also, significant differences were found between baseline and final measurements in both oral malodor parameters and dental parameters (TCS, CPITN, and PI; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: These results revealed that oral malodor in children is related to periodontal parameters and especially tongue coating. Moreover, malodor parameters were improved by increased awareness of the importance of oral hygiene. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
