Objectives: The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the ability of producing VSCs of three periodontal bacteria , and the influence of different food and mouthrinses on halitosis .
Materials and methods: 1.Aa, Pg and Fn were incubated in BHI .Then VSCs were measured by halimeter respectinely.2. The three kind of bacteria were incubated in BHI with different food, then measured their VSCs
... [Show full abstract] values.3.Pg was incubated in BHI with different mouthrinses . Then the VSCs in the headspace of the tubes were measured. The data were analyzed by SPSS13.0.
Results: 1.There was significant difference among the three bacteria (Aa ,Pg and Fn)in the ability of VSCs production (P<0.05). 2.When the food was duck , chicken and apple , Pg and Fn produced more VSCs than Aa . When the food was fish , there was no significant among the three bacteria .When the food was pork ,potato , carrot and flour ,there was significant difference on VSCs values among the three bacteria .3.Chicken , duck , fish ,pork and potato could help Pg produce VSCs .Apple , carrot and flour had no influence on VSCs production of Pg . Chicken , fish and potato help Aa produce VSCs. The others had no effect on VSCs production of Aa. Apple inhibited the ability of producing VSCs of Fn.
Conclusions: 1.Aa,Pg and Fn could produce VSCs . 2. Duck ,chicken, fish and pork with abundant protein may have positive effect on VSCs production . Carrot and flour with amylum and cellulose had little effect on producting VSCs halitosis . 3. The effect of Dobell's mouthrinse and Cetylpyridinium chloride was better than Chlorhexidine. Listerine and NaHCO3 mouthrinse was the worst. 4. The effect of Dobell's mouthrinse , Cetylpyridinium chloride , Chlorhexidine and Listerine could last for a long time
