Abstract in brief

This study tested how different oral hygiene routines—like tooth brushing, mouth washing, and tongue cleaning—affect bad breath caused by volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), finding that combining all three methods over five weeks is most effective in reducing oral malodor.
The research showed that while tooth brushing alone did not significantly reduce bad breath, adding mouthwash or tongue cleaning led to notable improvements, with the greatest reduction after using all three methods together.
The findings suggest that using a combination of mechanical and chemical oral hygiene procedures can effectively control oral malodor, which could influence future dental care recommendations.]
