Oral odorigens were quantitated by specific, functional assays; oral malodor was simultaneously measured organoleptically. An antiseptic mouthwash was found to depress malodor and populations of odorigenic bacteria for at least two h. These results support the hypothesis that the anti-odor properties of the product are related to its anti-microbial activity.
