目的
本研究的目的是评估挥发性硫化合物（VSCs）监测的能力，评估口腔异味的患者和牙周疾病相比，通过气相色谱法（GC）或感官测试的评估。
材料和方法
通过GC、VSCs监测仪（Breathtron）和感官测试对99名患者的口腔空气进行了测量。至少两个牙齿表面的牙周袋深度为4 mm及以上的患者被分配到牙周病组。
结果
牙周病组总VSCs值明显高于非牙周病组，且与GC中VSCs特异性气体及感官测量值相关性显著。Breathtron在两组中均具有高灵敏度。
结论
Breathtron是一种可靠的口臭诊断仪器。然而，应正确使用Breathtron来测量与牙周病相关的VSC。
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) monitor's ability to assess oral malodour in patients with and without periodontal disease in comparison with the assessment by gas chromatography (GC) or organoleptic testing.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Ninety-nine patients' mouth air was measured by GC, a VSCs monitor (Breathtron) and organoleptic test. Patients who had a periodontal pocket depth of 4 mm and more for at least two tooth surfaces were assigned to the periodontal disease group.
RESULTS
Total VSCs value by the Breathtron was higher in periodontal disease group than that in non-periodontal disease group, and it showed statistically significant correlations with specific VSCs gases from GC and with the organoleptic measurement. The Breathtron had high sensitivity in both groups.
CONCLUSION
The Breathtron can be a reliable instrument for the diagnosis of halitosis. However, the Breathtron should be used properly for measuring VSCs that are related to periodontal disease.
