Official Title: Inulin and Streptococcus Salivarius Reduce Halitosis Associated With Tongue Coating: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Brief Summary: Halitosis associated with tongue coating results from the production of volatile sulfur compounds by bacterial action.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the prebiotic inulin combined with the probiotic Streptococcus salivarius (SS) on halitosis by coating.
