Abstract:

Halitosis has always been prevalent in humans, affecting nearly half of the world's population. With the improvement of people’s health awareness, it has recently become a health concern among the public. Studies have shown that psychological factors were closely related to the occurrence and development of halitosis. Negative emotions such as anxiety and depression might directly lead to delusional halitosis while indirectly promoting the generation of volatile sulfur compounds in the oral cavity through affecting oral microbiota, periodontitis, saliva, immune function, and systemic diseases. This article provides a summary of research on direct and indirect correlations on the psychological factors in the pathogenesis of halitosis in recent years to improve the understanding of clinical doctors and provide some inspiration for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients with halitosis in the future.

Key words: halitosis, psychological factors, negative emotion, oral microenvironment, sulfide
