Abstract
The prevalence of oral malodor and association of habitual mouth breathing with oral malodor were
investigated in children residing in rural areas. One hundred and nineteen children participated in this
study. A sulfide monitor and organoleptic method were used to evaluate oral malodor. About 8% of
children had a sulfide level in mouth air above the socially acceptable limit (75 ppb). Habitual mouth
breathing was a factor contributing to oral malodor. Oral malodor was not significantly correlated
with plaque index, history of caries or frequency of toothbrushing.
