• Eating traditional yoghurt reduces the bacteria that cause bad breath.
• Reporting today at the 83rd General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, convening at the Baltimore Convention Center, investigators from Tsurumi University (Yokohama, Japan) presented results from a study investigating the effects of eating sugar-free traditional yoghurt on the components of oral malodor and harmful bacteria.
• They found that the levels of volatile sulfide compounds, namely, hydrogen sulfide, decreased in 80% of the volunteers after six weeks.
• Further, the plaque and gingival indices in the yoghurt-eating volunteers were significantly lower than in the nonyoghurt-eating group with bad breath.
• The results suggest that eating traditional yoghurt may reduce the components of oral malodor and harmful bacteria.
• This is a summary of abstract #920, by K. Hojo and co-workers, from Tsurumi University, Yokohama, Japan, to be presented at 2 p.m. in Exhibit Hall E-F of the Baltimore Convention Center, during the 83rd General Session of the International Association for Dental Research.
