U.S., May 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07602309) titled 'Tedlar Bag Stability of Volatile Sulfur Compounds for Remote Halitosis Diagnosis' on May 15.
Brief Summary: Halitosis, or bad breath, affects about 30% of people worldwide and is most often caused by oral diseases such as periodontitis. To diagnose it, dentists usually perform a clinical examination and measure specific gases in the breath called volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), which are responsible for bad odor.
