NCT02221193

Brief Summary

Objectives: To determine whether site-specific mouth rinsing with oral disinfectants can improve oral odor beyond the traditional panoral mouth disinfection with mouth rinses by targeting specifically oral malodor implicate anaerobic bacteria. Methods: Twenty healthy fasting subjects volunteered for a blinded prospective, descriptive correlational crossover cross-section clinical trial conduct during the month of Ramadan in the lunar Hajri year 1434 AH (10 July 2013-8 August 2013) in Albaha province in Saudi Arabia involving the application of Listerine® Cool Mint® mouth rinse by either the traditional panoral rinsing method or a site-specific disinfection method targeting the subgingival and supragingival plaque and the posterior third of the tongue dorsum while avoiding the remaining locations within the oral cavity. The viable anaerobic and aerobic bacterial counts, volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) levels, organoleptic assessment of oral odor and the tongue-coating index were compared at baseline, 1, 5 and 9 hours after the treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • viable anaerobic and aerobic bacterial counts

    Measuring bacterial numbers by culturing of saliva samples

    one month

  • assessment of oral odor

    the mouth odor was assisted by smelling

    one month

  • volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) levels

    these compound measured in part per million

    one month

Study Arms (1)

site specific vs panoral disinfection

EXPERIMENTAL
Other: traditional mouth rinsing and site-specific mouth rinsing (crossover)
