Factors###Total (%)###Self-assessment score of oral malodor

Gastrointestinal pathologies are the most common extraoral causes leading to oral malodor (31).

Since malodor originating from the mouth is due to the metabolic degradation of available proteinaceous substrates to malodorous gases by certain oral microorganisms, oral malodor can be ameliorated through:

"It works wherever cat urine malodor molecules are found," says Valencia.

On the other hand, odor counteractants are chemical compounds that are paired up with malodorous materials in such a way as to prevent the human olfactory sense from perceiving the malodors. When counteractants are in use, instead of only smelling the unpleasant odor, people are exposed to two different compounds: the malodor and the chemical matched with it that changes how their noses sense it.

Debridement of the cervical eschar after cryosurgery has been promoted as an anecdotal method for reducing the amount of malodorous hydrorrhea.[5] By eliminating an exudate that breeds aerobic and anaerobic infection, a more rapid re-epithelialization may occur, and the malodor may be reduced.[6] Despite these findings and although cervical cryosurgery has been used for more than 30 years, the natural history of the postprocedure process has never been quantitatively described.

The Halitosis or oral malodor or malodor is a universal medico social problem in all communities.

When it comes to malodor neutralization, Ordenone is already being used successfully by leading manufacturers in a wide variety of fabric refreshers and personal care products.

Around 2% of the population suffer severe chronic oral malodor. Studies of the prevalence of bad breath in the general population show that the problem increases with age, and while it doesn't differ in its occurrence between the sexes, women are more likely to be aware of the problem and to seek assistance to remedy it.

This study concludes firstly that poor oral hygiene attitude results into the bad breath or halitosis formation and secondly most of the subjects are having no hindrance in communication assumingly due to lack of self perception, lack of awareness about their own halitosis and lack of knowledge about the causes of oral malodor.
