Abstract

Breath malodour is a condition that has health

professionals for treatment of this condition occurs with regularity since
90% of breath odor problems emanate from the oral cavity. This paper
provides a comprehensive review of the etiology of breath odor, its
prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for the condition.
