AB - The purpose of this study was to examine the awareness of people in general characteristics about
oral malodor. The subjects in this study are 184 people who visited the clinical practice lab at J health
college to get their teeth scaled. After conducting a survey from May 1 to June 3, 2008, we selected
four different ares and then analyzed the answer sheets from 179 respondents including
smoking/nonsmoking, scaling experience, toothbrushing frequency and the use of oral hygiene supplies.
SPSS WIN 12.0 program was used to make a frequency analysis and cross analysis. The findings
of the study are as follows:
1. Concerning an intention of treatment for oral malodor, 37.4% didn’t intend to receive treatment
even in case of having bad breath. 28.5% didn’t yet have any definite idea about that, and 20.7%
had no mind to do that at all. 10.6% had an intention to receive treatment, and 2.8% want to
receive treatment.
2. As for how to cope with oral malodor in case of suffering from it, 47.5% chewed gums or ate
candy. 25.1% scarcely care about that, and 15.6% covered their mouth whenever they spoke.
9.5% had little confidence about talking to others, and 2.2% found it difficult to build an amicable
interpersonal relationship.
3. Concerning what to do about another person’s oral malodor, 40.8% did nothing, and 19% talked to the person about that. 17.3% gave him or her chewing gum. Among their oral health
characteristics, toothbrushing frequency made a significant difference to the way they responded
to another person’s oral malodor(p＜.05).
4. As to subjective feelings about another person’s oral malodor, 41.9% just found it bearable.
36.9% were a little displeased, and 9.5% never felt bad about another person’s bad breath. 8.9%
tried to avoid the person, and 2.8% advised him or her to chew gum.
5. Regarding an intention of participating in a oral malodor program, 46.9% had no idea about
that. 31.3% intended to participate in the program, and 13.4% wanted to do that without fail.
6.1% had no mind for that, and 2.2% were never going to do that. Among characteristics of the
user oral hygiene device made a significant difference whether to participating in the oral malodor
program(p＜.05).
