Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study to examine the oral malodor and relationship of oral malodor with socio-demographic factors, oral health behavioral and oral health status in community-dwelling elderly Thai.
Material and Methods: The subjects were 612 elderly (158 males and 454 females; mean age = 68.8 SD= 5.9) who lived in Maung, Phitsanulok, Thailand. Oral malodor was measured by the organoleptic method and using oral ChromaTM. The socio-demographic and oral health behavioral characteristics were investigated by a questionnaire. Oral examination including teeth and periodontal conditions were examined. Salivary flow rate were measured.
Results: Prevalence of oral malodor diagnosed by the organoleptic method was 64.7%. Logistic regression showed that the risk factors related to oral malodor were level of education (OR=1.58), dental visit behaviors ((OR=1.68), deep pockets (OR=2.95), gingival bleeding (OR=2.47), tongue coating (OR=58.36), salivary flow rate (OR=1.77) and pH of saliva (OR=1.26).
Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of oral malodor, which was associated with oral health and behavioral factors in community dwelling elderly Thai. The effective treatment of periodontal disease, improvement of oral hygiene condition and appropriate oral health education are all important to ameliorate oral malodor and improve oral health of the elderly.
