简要总结
Halitosis is the term used to define an unpleasant odor emanating from the mouth. Some lung diseases, such as bronchiectasis, are among the extra-oral causes of this condition. However, no studies have evaluated the reasons and treatment of halitosis in the population of adults with bronchiectasis. Methods and analysis: A randomized, controlled trial is proposed. Halitosis will be evaluated based on the measurement of volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) using gas chromatography. The participants (n=40) with halitosis and bronchiectasis will be randomized into two groups: G1-treatment with photodynamic therapy (n = 20) or G2-cleaning of the tongue with a tongue scraper (n = 20). After the treatments, a second evaluation will be performed, along with a microbiological analysis (qPCR) for the identification of the bacteria P. gingivalis and T. denticola. If the halitosis persists, the participants will receive periodontal treatment. The evaluation of halitosis and the microbiological analysis will be repeated. If the halitosis is solved, the participants will return after three months for an additional evaluation. This protocol will determine the effectiveness of phototherapy regarding the reduction of halitosis in healthy older adults and those with bronchiectasis.
详细描述
A single-center, randomized, controlled, single-blind clinical trial was designed in accordance with the criteria recommended for interventional trials in the SPIRIT Statement. The project for the proposed study received approval from the Human Research Ethics Committee o fNove de Julho University(certificate number: 1057901).
Selection of individuals - characterization of sample - Two groups will be composed of adults in treatment at the dental clinic of Nove de Julho University. After verbal and written explanations of the study, those who agree to participate will sign a statement of informed consent approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of Nove de Julho University. The study will be conducted in compliance with the precepts stipulated in the Declaration of Helsinki (revised in Fortaleza, Brazil, 2013).

结局指标
主要结局
halitmetry (gas chromatography test)
时间窗: study completion an average of 1 year
The portable Oral ChromaTM will be used for the assessment of halitosis. Oral air collection will follow the manufactured guide lines (Oral Chroma Manual Instruction). A syringe will be placed in the patient's mouth with the plunger completely inserted and the participant will breathe through the nose with the mouth closed for one minute.The plunger will then be withdrawn to fill the chamber with air. The gas injection needle will be placed on the syringe and the plunger will be adjusted to 0.5 ml. This air will be injected into the input of the device in a single motion. This procedure will be done before, immediately after aPDT or scraper and after periodontal treatment.
次要结局
- microbiological analysis(before aPDT or scrapper , immediately after aPDT or scrapper , immediatly after periodontal treatment, 3 months later)
