Effect of Several Zinc Solutions on Concentration of Oral Volatile Sulfur Compounds(VSCs)

수종의 Zinc 수용액이 구강내 휘발성 황화합물의 농도에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of several zinc solutions including Artemisia asiatica-containing zinc solution on concentration of oral volatile sulfur compounds(VSCs). We determined the VSCs concentration of breath of human subjects before and after use of zinc solutions(O.25% $ZnF_2$ Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnCl_2$ and Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnCl_2$ solutions) The results were as follows : 1. 0.25% $ZnCl_2$ solution was more effective than 0.25% $ZnF_2$ solution in reducing the concentration of oral VSCs and the maintenance duration of effectiveness. 2. Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnCl_2$ solution was more effective than Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnF_2$ solution in reducing the concentration of oral VSCs and the maintenance duration of effectiveness. 3. Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnF_2$ solution and 0.25% $ZnF_2$ solution showed no significant difference in reducing the concentration of oral VSCs and the maintenance duration of effectiveness but, Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnF_2$ solution was slightly more effective. 4. Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnCl_2$ solution and 0.25% $ZnCl_2$ solution showed no significant difference in reducing the concentration of oral VSCs and the maintenance duration of effectiveness but, Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnF_2$ solution was slightly more effective.
