摘要
口臭主要是指由口腔内厌氧菌发酵产生的挥发性硫化物引起的口腔异味。传统的机械治疗方法和化学治疗方法虽然可以短期内改善口臭状况,但长期疗效不尽如人意。唾液链球菌属于口腔正常菌群,与健康者相比,口臭者口腔中唾液链球菌数量较少。研究表明,唾液链球菌可以产生某种细菌素,对口臭相关细菌有抑制作用。本文综述了唾液链球菌在口臭预防和治疗中的研究进展。
Orai malodor, also known as halitosis, is a widespread problem, which is mainly caused by volatile sulphur compound （VSC）. VSC is produced by Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria. Oral malodor reduction may be obtained by a combination of chemotherapoutical and mechanical treatments. However, these modalities exhibit only temporary effects. And some undesirable side effects may occur when they are used in the oral cavity for long periods. Streptococcus salivarius is known to be normal flora in the mouth. They might have potential applications as adjuncts for both the prevention and treatment of oral malodour.
