| Summary: |
The article appearing in the current issue
of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology
on oral malodour in the Chinese
population by Liu et al (2006) is
the most recent in a series of articles on
bad breath appearing in this Journal in
recent years. This is a welcome sign.

problem for millions, and can be
a warning sign of medical and dental
disease. Research on its diagnosis,
aetiology, and treatment are of prime
importance. The main purpose of this
present editorial, however, is to stress
that we still do not understand how
periodontal health relates to the subject
of bad breath. |
