Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study is to analyze whether the candies can relieve or eliminate bad breath, both subjectively and objectively.
Detailed Description
This study is to systematically examine an existing candy, which is easily available and is intended to relieve or eliminate bad breath. The main aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the candies on the subjective perception of bad breath. The secondary outcome of the study is to investigate whether there is actually a decrease in volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) in the exhaled air and also a decrease in bad breath during organoleptic measurement.
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether the different candies can relieve or eliminate bad breath, both subjectively and objectively.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Organoleptic analysis of breathing air sample
Time Frame: max 60 minutes at 3 different days
Assessment of the patient's bad breath on the basis of the subjective assessment of an investigator (scale of 0 to 5 (0, no odor; 1, questionable odor; 2, slight malodor; 3, moderate malodor; 4, strong malodor; 5, severe malodor))
Measurement of volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) in ppb (parts per billion).
Time Frame: max 60 minutes at 3 different days
Assessment of the patient's bad breath on the basis of the objective assessment by a sulfide monitor (HaliSens® AI Analytical Innovations GmbH, Moosbach, Germany)
