Abstract

Background: Halitosis is a relatively inhomogeneous pathology with an extremely high prevalence in the population. Potential risk factors for bad breath include bacterial decomposition of organic material as well as numerous general and systemic diseases. The aim of the present study was to analyze whether certain subgroups of oral and maxillofacial surgery patients have a higher risk of halitosis. Further the impact of halitosis on the patient's quality of life was ascertained.
