Introduction:
Halitosis (Latin word: halitus – to breathe), osostomia, stomatodysodia (fetor oris, fetor ex ore) is
called bad breath. Halitosis prevalence has been found in European countries is 50-60%, in Germany
the percentage is 66.7%, in the U.S population the percentage is 10-30%, and in the Russia the
percentage is 30-50%. In Turkey, halitosis has been 14.5% among children and it has direct
association with their age, oral hygiene, and caries severity. Among world population, 80-90% people
have halitosis, and in terms of its prevalence it ranks after periodontal disease and dental caries
diseases. Thus, to determine halitosis among Mongolians might help improve oral hygiene, prevent
oral and other diseases.
Goal:
To study assessed factors influenced halitosis and prevalence in Mongolia.
Materials and Methods:
1492 patients who attended in dental clinic participated in this study. 16 questionary items were asked
from a total of 1492 patients aged 19-55 years old who had anxious of halitosis.
In clinical room, under the artificial light, using single-use examination tools, coloring-agent, periodontal
probe, tongue-scraper and halimeter were used.
The studying “Reasons and prevalence for halitosis” was estimated processing result with spss-17 program, and conducted a descriptive analysis of the quantitative data that was used the basic
biostatics method and indicated STUDENT- T criterion in the average data for the arithmetic in each
indicator, standard variance, standard error and real limits. Each indicator (M) Standard variance
Standard error (m) Real limits (c1-95%).
The ethics was discussed and approved in according to warrant by the Ethics Committee of Medical
University in Novosibirsk, №085, 2015.
Results:
Total 816 people conducted in our study; from them 60% has bad breath complaint. Those who said
have bad breath, 24% don’t notice they have bad breath, 34% have noticed their bad breath and use
mouth rinse in order to get rid of their problem and have never sought medical treatment about it. 10%
people with halitosis have general factors causing this problem. These people had relatively healthy
mouth and 2.1% of them have halitophobia or fear of having bad breath and constantly get checked
with physician.
In our research, 20 to 50 and above year olds 816 people have included and out of them 40% were
male and 60% were female (Table 2). From them, 61% had bad breath and 39% had not (Figure 1). In males 68% had bad breath, in females 56% had bad breath and these occur to be caused by local
factors.
In finding causes of bad odors in people with halitosis, 90% had local problems and within local
problems; smoking, poor oral hygiene, caries complication, and gum inflammation predominantly
discovered. 10% had general and other problems of causes of bad breath (Figure 2).
In people with halitosis, 10% had found with general factors influencing their bad breath problem.
These people had relatively healthy mouth, and 2.1% of them have halitophobia or fear of having bad
breath and constantly get checked with physician.
Local factors influencing halitosis include; smoking (37%), bleeding gum (28%), tongue biofilm
(3.0+3.1), poor oral hygiene (1.5+1.4), periodontal pocket (4.2+3.87), denture (54.8%(.
Using organoleptic method of measuring mouth odor, the mean point was 2.25±2.3. Using halitometer,
average light sulfuric gas concentrate was 145±134.2 ppb. 20-29 year olds had 140±127.5, 30-39
year olds had 155±136.8, 40-49 year olds had 140±139.5, 50 and above aged people had 139±134.1
ppb, thus there were no association between age and mouth odor (Table 3).
Conclusion
1. The Halitus is occurred 61%, And 68% - men, 56% - women, that is more common in
Mongolian population.
2. The general condition of halitus that is taken 90% - oral environment, which of that is 37%
- smoking, 28% - bleeding of gingival, 3.0-3.1% - coating of tongue, 1.5+1.4% poor oral cares,
4.2+3.87% - dental pathology, and 54.8% - artificial teeth.
3. The oral offensive odor was evaluated by organoleptic method that was 2.25+2.3 in average
index (performance) and 145+134.2ppb in halitometres index.

Introduction:
The department of Maxillofacial surgery of the National Center for Maternal and Child Health (NCMCH) has a nationwide tertiary medical service on the patients who is with congenital orofacial
anomalies, facial injury, nonmalignant tumors of this area, and inflammations of maxillofacial area
following dental caries and other reasons as well. For the last years nationwide the number of inpatient of the department has been growing constantly meaning that the necessity of medical care for
our countries for children is also growing. Therefore by studying and analyzing the structure of the
illness of the department will be able to determine the most frequent orofacial illness among children
in our country, to prevent them, define the treatment plan.
Aim:
To clarify what disease in the Maxillofacial area mainly occurs among Mongolian children.
Materials and Method:
We included all patients who underwent emergency and planned surgery in the department of Max-illofacial surgery, NCMCH between 2014-2015.
We used descriptive and case-control method based on the information of inpatients history record
between 2014.01.01-2015.01.01 at the department of Maxillofacial surgery, NCMCH and using our
own –designed, pre-screened survey card.
Statistical data processing is done using Microsoft Office-2017 and SPSS for windows programs,
and the results are shown illustrated method. The survey identified the incidence and frequency of
each disease classification, and analyzed the characteristics of the child’s age, sex, and residency.
Result:
The most of patients, who involved in this study were with the inflammation of maxillofacial area
(57%), and the congenital orofacial clefts (24.4%).
In total 3300 children from 0-18 years old admitted at the department of Maxillofacial surgery and
Infants study for orofacial surgery treatment were involved in this study.
Among which were 1803(54.6%) male, 1497(45.4%) female. Considering the residency, 2525(76.5%)
children from Ulaanbaatar and 775 (23.5%) children from countryside. The most of patients, who
involved in this study, were with the inflammation of maxillofacial area (57%), and the congenital
orofacial clefts (24.4%).
Conclusion
Based on the result of our study the highest incidence among the participants was inflammation of
maxillofacial area with 57% in which odontogenic periostitis was the most frequent with 21.6%. Congenital orofacial clefts and disorders was the 2nd most frequent with 24.4%. Inflammation of maxillo-facial area was most frequent in 0-2 age group with 33.7%, and mostly in male. Considering there
were residency with 83.2% highest in Ulaanbaatar and mostly in Bayanzurkh district with 24.7%.
