Shining a light on bad breath: laser therapy tested

NCT ID NCT06764342

Summary

This study tested whether adding a special laser treatment to standard gum cleaning and tongue scraping helps control chronic bad breath in people with serious gum disease. Researchers worked with 40 adults who had both conditions. They measured bad breath using a professional's sense of smell and a machine that detects smelly gases before and after the quick treatments.
