Abstract EN
Objectives.
Even though objective data indicating the absence of oral malodor are presented to patients, they may be skeptical about the results, possibly due to the presence of some discomfort in the oral cavity.
The objective of this study was to investigate whether there is an association among self-perceptions of oral malodor, oral complaints, and the actual oral malodor test result.
Materials and Methods.
Questions concerning self-perceptions of oral malodor and subjective intraoral symptoms were extracted from a questionnaire on oral malodor completed by 363 subjects who visited the clinic for oral malodor of Tokyo Dental College Chiba Hospital and gave consent to this study.
In addition, the association of self-perception of oral malodor with values obtained after organoleptic and OralChroma measurement was analyzed.
Results.
No correlation between 195 subjects (54%) who were judged “with oral malodor” (organoleptic score of ≥1) and 294 subjects (81.6%) who had a self-perceptions of oral malodor was observed.
Self-perception of oral malodor was significantly correlated with tongue coating p = 0.002 and a strange intraoral taste p = 0.016 .
Conclusions.
Subjects with a self-perception of oral malodor were not necessarily consistent with those actually having an oral malodor.
In addition, it was suggested that patients became aware of oral malodor when they felt oral complaints.
