… In the current study, widespread pain contributed only to the progression (OR 1.78, P =
0.048) but not to the onset of clinically significant pain (OR 1.55, P = 0.35). The discrepancies …

The 0–5 organoleptic scale is used widely in breath research and in trials to measure the
efficacy of anti-odor agents. However, the precise relationship between odor scores and gas …

… Assuming symmetrical confidence bounds, the half-width for each confidence interval is
expressed as 2 p ( 1 − p ) / N , where p is the estimated sensitivity or specificity, and N is the …

Background The purpose of this review was to assess the relationship between mean
organoleptic scores (using a 0-to-5 scale) and concentrations of putative odorants representative …

Aims Most studies of biofilm effects on dental materials use single‐species biofilms, or
consortia. Microcosm biofilms grown directly from saliva or plaque are much more diverse, but …

Clinical investigations on patients suffering from halitosis clearly reveal that in the vast
majority of cases the source for an offensive breath odor can be found within the oral cavity (90%). …

The accuracy of the Halimeter®, an inexpensive, simple instrument that measures total
breath volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), has not been adequately tested. We compared …
