Abstract

Breath malodour is a condition that has health and social implications. The origin of breath malodour problems is related to tooth systemic and oral conditions. The advice of dental professionals for the treatment of this condition occurs with regularity since 90% of breath odour problems emanate from the oral cavity. This article reveals a review of aetiology of breath odour and its prevalence diagnosis and treatment strategies for oral malodour.
