ABSTRACT
Introducción: Halitosis is an adverse emission of odour from the oral cavity. Approximately 90% of all halitosis cases are related to oral health. Volatile sulphide compounds (VSC) constitute the main component of halitosis, they are produced by anaerobic bacteria located on the dorsum of the tongue and in periodontal pockets. Mouthwashes with antimicrobial agents are effective in the treatment of halitosis, Nevertheless, commercial diversity presents a problem when choosing the right one.
Objetive: To determine the effectiveness and sustainability of three commercial mouthwashes against the halitosis.
Material and methods: 78 participants were randomly divided into one control and three experimental groups. Organoleptic measurements and basal levels of VSC were taken at 1, 3 and 24 hours after use. Central tendency dispersion measurement and statistical analysis were established.
Results: The findings of this research indicate a decrease in organoleptic levels and VSC after 1
st and 3
rd hour use of mouthwashes in three experimental groups.
Conclusions: Results obtained in the present study indicate that mouth rinsing with essential oils, triclosan and cetylpirydine chloride represents a positive option for the treatment of halitosis.
