This study investigates the effects of two types of oral mouthwashes (Corsodyl
mouth rinse (MR)) and (Crest multiprotection MR) in combination with mechanical
plaque control, on oral malodor of periodonticaly healthy children and compare it
with conventional mechanical plaque control.
Thirty healthy subjects from Baghdad city schools with an average age(9-11)were
divided into three groups: Group I: tooth brushing ,interdental flossing ,and tongue
brushing; Group II: as group I+ rinsing with Corsodyl MR; Group III :as group I+
rinsing with Crest MR. Oral malodor was measured organoleptically and by using
Haliometer before treatment ,then the volunteers performed these oral hygiene
procedures for 7 days, then oral malodor was measured again to estimate the effect of
mouthwash on oral malodor. Data were analyzed by one way t-test.
There were highly significant differences between group I and group II ,and group
I and group III, and even though group II provides a better oral malodor reduction
than group III, there was no significant difference between them.
