Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of persistent halitosis after pharyngeal flap surgery.

A patient presenting with persistent dramatically offensive fetid malodor 1 year after pharyngeal flap surgery is described. Nasendoscopic examination revealed the presence of a foreign body within the nasopharynx lying on the flap. The foreign body was immediately removed by endoscopic telebiopter and revealed itself to be a gauze pad forgotten during the pharyngeal flap surgery. Modern endoscopic equipment allowed both quick diagnosis of this very rare complication and immediate and simple treatment under topical anesthesia.

Treatment of oral and nonoral sources of halitosis in elderly patients.

The increasing number of older patients being seen in medical and dental offices in the industrialised world emphasises the need for a thorough understanding of the normal aging process. Additionally, close attention must be paid to the disease processes that affect this special needs population. Although there are many positive psychosocial issues associated with the aging patient, many diseases and disabilities associated with the aging process place an increased burden on the elderly patient. The relationship between general and oral health must be understood by the practitioner if therapies are to be effective. Although it is not the objective of this article to provide a comprehensive review of oral healthcare, an attempt will be made to provide general information on the diagnosis and treatment planning for oral malodours often associated with poor oral and/or systemic health. Every healthcare provider treating the elderly patient for oral malodours must recognise that there is potentially a direct relationship between the oral and systemic health of the patient. While most oral malodours have a simple cause, no single therapy is always effective. For best results, a team approach to diagnosing and treating oral malodours involves the dentist, physician, dietician and pharmacist. This multidisciplinary approach should be arranged before the onset of any complex therapy. When indicated, supportive, responsible family members should be additionally involved to assure patient compliance. The mouth and teeth can be a source of great pride and pleasure. A beautiful smile is one of the most pleasant greetings a human can offer. Enjoying a meal of fine food and drink is truly gratifying.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

[Development of breath detector for halitosis (1). Theory and method].

A Breath Detector was developed and its clinical application was investigated. It is very difficult to judge how one's own breath smells. The sense of smell is the most unreliable of the senses and has still not been scientifically clarified. Everyone who tried to accurately express the strength and the character of some smell will be puzzled to see the difficulty of expression. A smell on one's breath is actually impossible to expressed on the same scale as for weight or length. On a laboratory basis, it is certainly possible to clarify the concentration and the mass of some odor by using graphic or numerical values with Gas chromatography. However such measuring methods at laboratories are not available in our daily clinical life when it is required to check easily, anytime and anywhere. In consideration of the above, We believe that this Breath Detector with a built-in small special gas sensor will act a substitute for an analyzer, and that the device can express how strong the smell on one's breath is. Therefore we recommend Breath Detector as a product many patients have been waiting for.
