Abstract: | In 28 dogs, oral malodor was assessed organoleptically (0-3 scale) and by measurement of volatile sulfur components (VSC), using two positions ('intraoral' and 'tooth surface') for sampling VSC. Significant correlations were found between: intraoral and tooth surface VSC collection positions (p < 0.0001) and between organoleptic and tooth surface VSC data (p < 0.0001). VSC measurement is a sensitive, repeatable and non-subjective method of assessing oral malodor in dogs. |
