最近开发的电子鼻尚未在临床上应用于口腔恶臭的评估。这项研究试图确定电子鼻是否可以临床评估口腔恶臭。29名健康成年人和49名患者进行了评估的结果，实际的感官测试，一个分数代表恶臭强度与电子鼻在“顶注”模式（顶注分数），和测量挥发性硫化合物（VSC）的浓度。头香和实际感官评分之间的相关系数（r = 0.71）与对数VSC和实际感官评分（r = 0.63）相当。然而，在受试者操作特征图下，顶音得分的面积显著大于对数VSC。在Logistic回归分析中，以最高评分为因变量，探诊深度、舌苔和菌斑控制记录各有独立关联。我们的研究结果表明，从电子鼻检查的最高音符得分可能是有用的口腔恶臭的临床评价。
A recently developed electronic nose has not yet been clinically applied to evaluations of oral malodor. This investigation sought to determine whether an electronic nose could clinically assess oral malodor. Twenty-nine healthy adults and 49 patients were assessed by results of an actual organoleptic test, a score representing malodor strength with an electronic nose in "top-note" mode (top-note score), and measurements of volatile sulfur compound (VSC) concentrations. The correlation coefficient between top-note and actual organoleptic scores (r = 0.71) was comparable with the log VSC and actual organoleptic scores (r = 0.63). However, the area under the receiver-operating characteristic plots for top-note score was significantly larger than that for log VSC. In logistic regression analyses with top-note score as a dependent variable, probing depth, tongue coating, and plaque control record each had independent associations. Our findings suggest that the top-note score from an electronic nose examination may be useful for the clinical evaluation of oral malodor.
