	Halitosis Fundamentals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Halitosis is due to the presence of odorous gases in the air expelled from the oral cavity, therefore, most of the efforts in studying the etiology of this condition have been devoted to the identification of these gases.
		In addition to the lack of correlation between halitosis and the presence/absence of periodontal disease, the intensity of halitosis based on VSC concentration was 19% less in periodontally healthy subjects (mean 111 ppb) than in subjects with periodontitis (mean=136 ppb).
		Treatment of physiologic halitosis (TN-1), oral pathologic halitosis (TN-1 and TN-2), and pseudo-halitosis (TN-1 and TN-4) should be the responsibility of a dentist, however, treatment of extra-oral pathologic halitosis (TN-3) or halitophobia (TN-5) should be undertaken by a physician or medical specialist such as a psychiatrist or psychologist.
