Bad breath or halitosis is caused by specific gases originating from the mouth or the expired air. In most cases the pathology lies within the mouth and in this case receives the name pathologic halitosis of oral cause or oral malodor. The aim of this study is to evaluate the immediate (masking) and long term (therapeutic) effect of commercially available mouth rinses in the treatment of oral malodor. For this volunteers with oral malodor detected by organoleptic evaluation and confirmed by the increase level of sulphur compounds in their breath (VSC) will be asked to use a designated mouthwash. The breath parameters will be assessed at baseline and 15' after the first rinse (15 ml, during 1 minute) and over night at the end of a period of 3 weeks during which the volunteers rinsed twice a day (15 ml, 1 minute) with the assigned mouthwash. The short and long term effect of a stannous fluoride/amine fluoride/zinc rinse; a chlorhexidine/cetylpyridinium chloride/zinc product and a negative control(fluoride rinse and/or water) will be compared.
| Arm | Type | Interventions | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fluoride rinse | Placebo comparator | Other: Fluoride rinse | A fluoride rinse with alcohol was chosen because its similarity in color and aroma to the active rinses. This anti-cavity rinse does not contain any active components and therefore it is not expected to have any anti-malodour activity. |
| Halita | Active comparator | Other: Halita | Halita is a CHX-containing benchmark product that has proven to be clinically effective against halitosis (Roldan et al, 2003) |
| Meridol Halitosis | Active comparator | Other: Meridol Halitosis | This study aims to confirm the effect of meridol®Halitosis(AmF/SnF2 and zinc) already observed in volunteers with morning bad breath (physiological)(Wigger-Alberti et al, 2010; Wilhelm et al, 2010)in patients with oral malodor (pathological). |
| Water | Sham comparator | Other: Water | To distinguish the masking effect caused by the formulations and the one caused by the rinsing itself.Only for short term evaluation (15') to not to compromise compliance of patients. |
Sex: All, ages: 18 Years to any, accepts healthy volunteers
