Relationships between and in subgingival microbiota of periodontitis patients with halitosis: A preliminary study using qPCR.

Objective: is suggested to be associated with the production of volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs) and can be found in subgingival plaques of deep periodontal pockets. We examined whether this bacterium's count was reduced in periodontitis patients with halitosis following non-surgical periodontal treatment, while the bacterial count of was measured simultaneously as a control.

Material & Methods: This clinical study included 20 adults with chronic periodontitis who complained of halitosis.
