Caseós amigdalianos como um fator determinante para halitose tonsilar : uma revisão de literatura.

Abstract

The tonsil caseos are only correlated with a 3% association with halitosis, but there are still few studies to confirm this percentage. However, the main objective of this literature review is to associate the caseos, even though this small percentage is of great relevance for future studies and research on this topic. In this work, in addition to the association of caseos and halitosis, the way to prevent halitosis, some treatment methods, the difficulty of social life for patients with such pathology and the complicated anatomy of the tonsil crypts were also presented. It is concluded then, from the bibliographical review of this work, that tonsil caseos present a low percentage among the factors that cause halitosis, however, the possibility of a certain patient having such pathology must be discarded.
