Abstract
Halitosis is a condition characterized by consistent foul-smelling breath that may indicate a wide range of local and systemic diseases, or may be due to specific eating habits. It may also be a diagnostic factor for psychiatric disorders. A gas chromatograph detecting sulphur gases in breath makes the diagnosis of halitosis easier and adds useful data for the diagnosis of periodontal disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
