Fifty percent of people worldwide view themselves as having halitosis, with 90% of the etiology being intra–oral. Dental hygiene practitioners should be knowledgeable about the current classifications, diagnosis and treatment modalities to best meet the needs of patients either self–reporting or diagnosed with this problem. Classification of halitosis, assessment, diagnosis, intra–oral and systemic contributing factors, treatment, management and clinical application are discussed in this review.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
