Abstract
Objective: This study investigated the effect of Yin deficiency medicine on halitosis patients and the relationship between subjective recognition and objective symptoms of oral malodor. Methods: We administered Yin deficiency medicine, such as Jaeumganghwa-tang, and conducted the Halitosis Associated Life-quality Test (HALT) and $OralChroma^{TM}$. Subjective recognition of halitosis was evaluated using HALT. Objective symptoms of halitosis were evaluated using $OralChroma^{TM}$. In addition, before and after administering medicine, we determined the halitosis according to percentages at the patient's word. Results: The total gas and HALT were not related to each other after Maekmoondong-tang or Saengmaek-san were administered to 10 halitosis patients. Conclusion: Yin deficiency medicine is effective in treating halitosis. Moreover, the subjective recognition and objective symptoms of halitosis are not related to each other.
