Amaç: Halitozis, her yaştan bireyleri etkileyebilen yaygın bir problemdir. Bu çalışmayla ağız kokusu farkındalığını anket ve halimeter ölçümlerini birlikte değerlendirerek tespit etmeyi ve farklı etken madde içeren diş macunlarının ağız kokusu üzerine etkilerini incelemeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya Gazi Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi’nde öğrenim gören 1-2 ve 3. sınıftan toplam 308 öğrenci dahil edildi. Çalışma öncesi tüm hastalardan sözlü ve yazılı onamları alındı. Anket sonrası farklı derecede ağız kokusuna sahip olduğunu düşünen 100 birey iki eşit gruba ayrıldı. Etken maddesi çinko ve kalay olan iki diş macunu grubu ellişer bireyden oluştu. Bu bireylerden başlangıç (t1), bir ay sonra (t2) ve üç ay sonra (t3) olmak üzere üç kez periodontal ölçümler ve ağız kokusu ölçümleri tekrarlandı. Ağız kokusunun belirlenmesinde organoleptik yöntem ve portatif sülfür monitörü (Halimeter®)kullanıldı. Elde edilen tüm veriler istatistiksel yöntemlerle incelendi. Bulgular: Ağız kokusunun var olduğunu düşünen ve hissedilen ağız kokusu seviyesini 0-5 arasında derecelendiren hastalarda, organoleptik skorlar (OLS) ve halimeter değerleri (HMD) anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu (p<0,001). Ağız kuruluğu olan hastalarda OLS ve HMD daha yüksek bulundu (p<0,05). Ağız solunumu yapan hastalarda HMD yüksek bulundu (p<0,05). DMFT ile OLS ve HMD arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptandı (p<0,001). Farklı macun kullanan iki test grubundan elde edilen indeksler ve ağız kokusu ölçümleri arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunamadı (p>0,05). Sonuç: Çalışma grubumuzun ağız kokusu farkındalıkları yüksek bulundu. Çinko ve kalay içeren diş macunları ağız kokusu seviyelerini azaltmada etkili olduğu istatistiksel olarak biri diğerine göre daha üstün bulunamadı.
Purpose: Halytosis is a common problem that can affect individuals of any age. With this study, we aimed at identifying oral smell awareness by evaluating the surveys and halimeter measurements together and examining the effects of toothpaste containing different active substances on oral smell. Tools and Methods: The study included a total of 308 students from 1-2 and 3 classes who studied at the Faculty of Dentistry of Gazi University. All patients received oral and written approvals before the study. After the survey, 100 individuals who thought they had a different degree of mouth smell were divided into two equal groups. Two toothpaste groups, which are the active substance of zinc and crane, consisted of fifty individuals. These individuals repeated periodontal measurements and mouth odor measurements three times, starting (t1), a month later (t2) and three months later (t3).For the determination of the mouth smell, the organoleptic method and portative sulphur monitor (Halimeter) were used.®All the data received were examined by statistical methods.Results: In patients who thought that oral smell existed and quoted the level of oral smell between 0 and 5, the organoleptic scores (OLS) and halimeter values (HMD) were significantly high (p<0,001).Patients with mouth drought found higher OLS and HMD (p<0,05).HMD was high in patients with oral respiration (p<0,05).There was a meaningful relationship between DMFT and OLS and HMD (p<0,001). There was no significant difference between the indexes obtained from the two test groups using different butter and the mouth smell measurements (p>0,05). The result: the sensitivity of the mouth smell of our study group was high. Statistically, the toothpaste containing zinc and silk has not been found to be better than the other, which is effective in reducing the levels of oral smell.
Aim: Halitosis is a common problem that can affect individuals of all ages. In this study, we aimed to determine the awareness of halitosis by evaluating the questionnaires and halimeter measurements together and to determine the effects on the halitosis level of toothpastes containing different active substances. Material and Methods: A total of 308 students from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year students of Gazi University Faculty of Dentistry were included in the study. Oral and written informed consent were obtained from all patients before the study. After the questionnaire was applied, 100 students were divided into two equal groups. The toothpaste group consisting of active substance zinc and the toothpaste group with active substance stannous consisted of 50 individuals. Periodontal measurements and halitosis measurements were repeated three times, from these individuals at the beginning (t1), at one month (t2) and at three months (t3). Organoleptic method and portable sulfur monitor (Halimeter®) were used to determine the halitozis. All data were analyzed with statistical methods. Results: Organoleptic scores (OLS) and halimeter values (HMD) were found significantly higher in patients who thought to halitosis (p <0.001). OLS and HMD were higher in patients who felt dryness in their mouth (p <0.05). HMD was higher in mouth breathing patients (p <0.05). There was a significant relationship between DMFT and OLS and HMD (p <0.001). No significant difference was found between the periodontal indeces and halitosis measurements obtained from two test groups using different toothpastes (p> 0.05). Conclusion: In our study group, halitosis awareness was found to be high. Although toothpastes containing zinc and stannous are effective in reducing halitosis levels, it is not possible to mention that one is more effective than the other.
