This trial tests a new approach for treating bad breath (halitosis) using a special light therapy combined with probiotics (good bacteria). It aims to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.
This trial tests whether a special mouthwash with resveratrol (a natural plant compound) can help reduce bad breath caused by gum-related bacteria. It might be a good option if you have bad breath from gingivitis (mild gum inflammation) and are a non-smoking dental student.
This trial checks if adding tongue scraping to regular gum disease treatment can help reduce bad breath more than gum treatment alone.
This trial tests if a special toothpaste made from Chios mastic can reduce bad breath and improve oral hygiene in teenagers who wear braces. It may help those with braces who have halitosis.
This study tests whether taking probiotics (good bacteria) can help reduce bad breath in people who are otherwise healthy and practice good oral hygiene. If you're an adult with persistent bad breath despite brushing and flossing, this might offer a natural approach.
