Abstract		About 10 % of people have sometimes in their life bad breath problems. As a rule, the origin of bad breath is mouth and not the stomach, lungs or bad digestion. In some cases, it can be also clinical sign of a serious systemic disease. In our population it is difficult to estimate the portion of bad breath that origins from teeth problems and periodontal disease, as everyone has good access to dentistry service. In spite of that, there are still many people with halitosis problems. In these cases the origin of bad breath is anaerobic flora on the furred tongue, hipopharynx and postnasal drip. Today we can treat halitosis with mechanical cleaning of the tongue and irrigation of the mouth cavity with an oral rinse that contains substances against anaerobic pathogens.
Summary		Do 10% Ijudi ima po različnih ocenah moteče težave zaradi ustnega zadaha vsaj enkrat v življenju. Praviloma so izvor zadaha usta in ne želodec ali pljuča ali slaba prebava. Zelo redko je zadah klinično znamenje hude sistemske bolezni. V naši populaciji je težko oceniti delež zadaha, ki gre na račun zobnih bolezni, protetičnih problemov in bolezni obzobnih tkiv, saj je zobozdravstvena služba kakovostna in dostopna in se ti problemi vsak dan odpravijo vapbozdravstvenih ambulantah. Pa vendarima še vedno kar precej I)udi kronični ustni radah; ki ne izvira od zob in obzobnih tkiv. V teh primerih so izvor zadaha obloge v ustih in sicer na jeziku, sluznici žrela in postnazalni izcedek. Krive so anaerobne bakterije, ki so se prekomerno razmnožile pod oblogami. Z mehaničnim čiščenjem oblog in izpiranjem ustne votline s sredstvi proti anaerobnim bakterijam lahko danes kronični ustni zadah učinkovito odpravimo.
