Abstract in brief

  • Mechanical tongue cleaning significantly reduces bad breath and tongue coating, as shown by decreased organic bad breath measurement values and tongue coating indices in all methods studied.
  • The study found no significant difference in effectiveness between using a toothbrush, a tongue scraper, or both together; all methods effectively reduced tongue coating and bad breath.
  • The key factor in effective tongue cleaning is thorough wiping from the back to the front of the tongue, rather than the specific tool used.]
