〔Purpose〕

Most patients of self-recognizing halitosis sense that they have certain oral malodor due tobehaviors of others and abnormal intraoral conditions. Their smell is usually physiological and relatively lighter than pathological halitosis. Many patients say that the malodor changes periodically and it is especially worse just after awaking. These changes are not well-known and there are a few reports about them. We studied about these changes with a visualized analogue scale (VAS) every time of treatment. We also observed the effect of our comprehensive malodor treatment on the troubles of the patients.
