Objective: To assess the effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) employing an annatto-based (20%) dye combined with blue LED for the treatment of halitosis in mouth-breathing children. Methods: Fifty-two children six to twelve years of age with diagnoses of mouth breathing and halitosis (score of ≥ 3 on Breath Alert® portable breath meter) were randomly allocated to two groups (n = 26). Group 1: brushing, dental floss and aPDT applied to middle third of the dorsum of the tongue. Group 2: brushing, dental floss and tongue scraper. Breath meter results before, immediately after treatment as well as seven and 30 days after treatment were compared. The normality of the data will be determined using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Parametric data will be submitted to analysis of variance and nonparametric data will be compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The results of each treatment in the different periods of the study will be compared using the Wilcoxon test.

Primary | Changes in Halimetry Results | The Breath Alert® device was used following the manufacturer's instructions and disinfected after each use. The device was shaken four or five times prior to each use to eliminate any residual odors. A "beep" was emitted upon opening the upper compartment of the device and a second "beep" was emitted when the participant blew into the frontal air input (air flow passage). After a third "beep", breath odor was measured and scored on a scale of 0 to 8 points. If the letter ''C'' appeared, indicating an error, the procedure was repeated. A score = 2 points was considered indicative of halitosis. | Baseline, immediately after treatment, after 7 days and after 30 days. |
