Patient • 35 year old male • Chief Complaint (CC) • Bad breath • History of Chief Complaint (HCC) • Bad breath - was told by the neighbor and noticed the behavior of co-workers for the past 5 years • Medications • No medication • Social History (SH) • Smoking 15 cigarette/day, for 15 years, daily 2 cups of coffee; likes spicy food • Family History (FH) • Father suffers of chronic bronchitis, mother has insulin independent diabetes mellitus, 2 children, age 7 and 3. • Dental History (DH) • Last dental work 2 years ago. Diagnosed with Fissured Tongue (Lingua Plicata, or Scrotal Tongue). Poor oral hygiene •Medical History (MH) • Exercises regularly. No known allergies. High blood pressure, calcium channel blocker (Nifedipine) • Review of Systems (RS) • Cardiovascular – Blood Pressure, 145/90. Pulse 70. • Respiratory – Rate 16/min. Breathing through his mouth. Due to a septum deviation, caused by a car accident that broke his nose and jaw. • Nervous – Calm demeanor, balanced person. No history of depression or other disorder. No pain or numbness in any major cranial or spinal nerve. • Endocrine and renal – WNL • Gastrointestinal – Hyperacidity, treated with Tagamet • Skin and mucosa – Color and texture of skin and mucosa WNL. No persistent lesions or moles • Osteoarticular – Fracture of the jaw 5 years ago due to a car accident. The left body of the mandible was fractured along with the right subcondylar area. Treated surgically. Diagnosis and Risk Assessment Are any of the condition in the medical and social history connected to halitosis? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Fracture of the jaw? Fracture of the nasal septum? Mouth breathing? Cardiovascular (HBP)? GI problems (gastric hyperacidity)? Diet? Smoking, coffee? Fissured tongue? Oral hygiene? Steps in Malodor Formation Proteolysis: Proteins Aminolysis: Amino acids Amino acids Odoriferous volatile and tissue harming products Oral Pathogens Causing Halitosis • • • • • • • Fusobacterium nucleatum Veionella alcalescens Porphyromonas gingivalis Prevotella intermedia Prevotella loeschii Treponema denticola Klebsiella pneumoniae Gram Negative Anaerobes are trapped Bacterial Growth Inflammation Bacterial enzymes Protein Substrate Salivary and tissue proteins Enzymatic degradation Tissue Permeability Collagen breakdown Delayed Wound Healing Volatile Sulphur Compounds affects Amino Acids Cys-Cys, Cys, Met, Ser, Trp, Orn Volatile sulfur and other objectionable compounds H2S, CH3SH, (CH3)2S, indole, skatole Bacterial metabolism Protein Substrate Methionine CH3SH Serine thiocysteine Cystine H2S Homocysteine H2S NH3 Cystathionine a-ketobutyrate Cysteine NH3 Homoserine H2S pyruvate acetic acid Tryptophan propionate Indole, Skatole The Mechanism of Malodor Formation Components of Bad Breath “The Oral Bouquet” • • • • • • Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) Methyl mercaptan (CH3SH) Dimethyl sulfide and Dimethyl disulfide Indole, Skatole, Cadaverine, Putrescine Volatile fatty acids Amines The source of the odor? Saliva supernatant Saliva sediment Saliva super + sediment No odor Odor Strong odor What conditions or factors favor halitosis? Discuss it with your partner first. • • • • • • • • Poor oral hygiene Periodontitis Oral infections/ulcerations Oral cancer Mouth breathing Xerostomia Retronasal drip Retentive tongue: Fissured tongue, Geographic tongue, Median rhomboid glossitis, Black hairy tongue • Food impaction/Faulty restorations • Diet, smoking, coffee Diagnosis of Halitosis • • • • Organoleptic Halimeter Microbiological Gas Chromatography/Flame Photometric Detection • Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Differential Diagnosis • Oral causes (90-95%) • Gastrointestinal system Dietary • Respiratory system • Metabolic Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) Diabetes Uremia Treatment and Prognosis Etiologic and symptomatic treatment • Maintenance of Proper Oral Hygiene • Elimination of Inflammation and periodontal treatment (if necessary) •Treat nasal septum deviation, adenoids, mouth breathing, xerostomia • Change dietary habits • Removal of faulty restoration • Tongue brushing or scraping, flossing • Mouthwashes containing zinc chloride Prognosis • Excellent Evaluation of Treatment Efficacy • • • • Organoleptic measurement Halimeter Microbiological assays Cysteine challenge Answer the following • What amino acids are the source of the odor? • What is the pathogenesis of halitosis? • What five major factors maintain halitosis? • What are the differential diagnoses of halitosis? • What are the five main steps to treat/avoid halitosis? Bad breath is better than no breath at all L.Z.G. Touyz Thank You
