Clinical parameters in patients with halitosis: a cross-sectional study
Our findings showed that while halitosis severity correlated with higher DMFT scores and plaque accumulation, there was no significant association with salivary cortisol levels, suggesting that stress, as measured by salivary cortisol, may not be a direct contributor to halitosis. Furthermore, the data suggest that poor oral hygiene is a more significant factor in the development of halitosis than stress levels, as assessed by the CPSS-10.
