Objective: To determinate the oral factors associated with halitosis in patients with dental prosthesis who attended the Santo Tomas University dental clinics.
Material and methods: An observational analytic cross-sectional study was done, with both gender-102 patients, with ages between 50-80 years old, total-denture wearers who were Santo Tomas University patients.
Results: 69.6% of the patients were women; the average age was 66.3, +/- 8.7 years old. Halitosis to a palm was related to dental biofilm across the external surfaces base mandibular dentadure with RR 2.88, oral bad taste with RR 2.16; garlic consuming with RR 1.54; xerostomy during the early morning with RR 1.48. Halitosis to one meter was related with mucosa lips lesions with RR 7.84; brown tongue with RR 19.6 and medication consuming (RR 2.95). No patients were found with halitosis to three meters.
Conclusions: Halitosis to a palm in total-denture wearers who were Santo Tomas University dental clinic’s patients was associated to intraoral factors related with bad oral taste and xerostomy. Halitosis to one meter was related oral factor how mucosa lips lesions and brown tongue.
