Mouth cleaning included the teeth, gingiva, and tongue and was carried out 3 times per day for 4 weeks., Organoleptic test (OLT) scores (P = .021), levels of hydrogen sulfide (P = .008) and methyl mercaptan (P = .020), frequency of bleeding on probing, average probing pocket depth, and plaque index significantly improved in the group using hinokitiol. In contrast, only the OLT score (P = .031) significantly improved in the control group after the treatment regimen., Mouth cleaning with hinokitiol-containing gel may be effective for reduction of oral malodor.}, school = {福岡歯科大学}, title = {Effect of mouth cleaning with hinokitiol-containing gel on oral malodor: a randomized, open-label pilot study}, year = {} }
