About this trial

This is an interventional prevention trial for Halitosis focused on measuring chlorine, dioxide, mouthwash, organoleptic, measurements, volatile, sulfur, compounds

Eligibility Criteria

19 Years - 38 Years (Adult)MaleAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Clinical diagnosis of oral malodor
  • Rinsing the mouthwash

Exclusion Criteria:

  • oral malodor caused by foods

Sites / Locations

  • Dept. Oral health promotion, Tokyo medical and dental university

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Oral malodor was evaluated at before rinsing, right after rinsing and follows up every 30 minutes till 4 hours with organoleptic measurements.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Oral malodor was evaluated at before rinsing, right after rinsing and follows up every 30 minutes till 4 hours with the concentrations of 3 kinds gases of human oral malodor analyzing with gas chromatography.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
A mouthwash containing chlorine dioxide would be effective to reduce oral malodor.
Detailed Description
A randomized, double blind, crossover, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted among 15 healthy male volunteers, who were divided into 2 groups: experimental or control group. In the first test phase, the subjects in the experimental group were instructed to rinse with the mouthwash containing ClO2 and those in the control group with the placebo mouthwash without ClO2. In the second test phase after one week washout period, same procedure was conducted with the opposite mouthwashes. Oral malodor was evaluated at before rinsing, right after rinsing and follows up every 30 minutes till 4 hours with OM, and the concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methyl mercaptan (CH3SH) and dimethyl sulfide ((CH3)2S) which are the main volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) of human oral malodor were evaluated with GC.
