Popis: Aim To evaluate the long-term effects of a zinc acetate and chlorhexidine diacetate mouth rinse (Zn/CHX) on intra-oral halitosis. Materials and Methods Forty-six adults with intra-oral halitosis were randomized into a 6-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study. The presence of intra-oral halitosis was evaluated at baseline, 3, and 6 months after treatment by assessment of organoleptic score (OLS) and by total volatile sulphur compounds (T-VSC), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and methyl mercaptan (MM) concentrations in exhaled air. Results A Zn/CHX mouth rinse provided significantly better control of intra-oral halitosis than a placebo mouth rinse. At three and six months, individuals rinsing with the Zn/CHX rinse presented with reductions of the OLS, T-VSC (p
