Objectives-The authors have measured the oral odor and examined the oral health conditions of patients complaining of bad breath in Fukuoka Dental College Hospital starting from September to December of 1999. The purpose of this study was to explain the clinical findings from the patients. Methods-The authors measured the oral odor of 14 patients complaining of bad breath using an organoleptic score and determined the volatile sulfur compounds in the mouth air using gas chromatography. In searching for the cause of the oral malodor we examined the oral health conditions of the patients in whom oral malodor was detected by organoleptic score. Results-The authors found oral malodor in the breath of 12 patients through organoleptic score. We found 0.75ng or more of hydrogen sulfide in 5ml of mouth air of 7 patients and 0.25ng or more of methyl mercaptan in 5ml of mouth air of 9 patients using gas chromatography. The patients showed much plaque, thick coatings on the tongue, supragingival calculus, decayed teeth, fractured or inadequate restorations, swelling or redness of the gingiva, tooth mobility or a pus discharge. Conclusions-Twelve of the 14 patients had oral malodor and oral disorders that were considered to be the cause of the oral malodor.
