Halitosis, or bad breath, is often treatable with a multidisciplinary approach. This review highlights that most cases stem from oral issues like tongue coating and gum disease, requiring integrated care.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Medicine
  • Otolaryngology
  • Psychiatry

Context:

  • Halitosis is a prevalent yet often underestimated condition.
  • A multidisciplinary team approach is crucial for comprehensive management.
  • University Hospital Leuven, Belgium, served as the study setting.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary strategy in managing halitosis.
  • To analyze the etiological factors, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic outcomes for halitosis patients.
  • To confirm malodor using a halimeter for accurate diagnosis.

Summary:

  • A review of 491 patients (ages 20-50) revealed that 87% of halitosis cases originated from oral causes, primarily tongue coating (51%), gingivitis (17%), and periodontitis (15%).
  • Non-oral causes accounted for 13%, including Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) issues (4%), combined ENT and oral factors (3%), digestive problems (1%), and psychological factors (5%).
