摘要
舌苔是一种由脱落的上皮细胞、食物残渣和微生物组成的生物膜。TC在人群中普遍存在,可能对口腔和全身健康都有重大影响。年龄、饮食、吸烟和全身状况等因素都会影响其形成。TC是致病菌的主要储存库,与口臭和牙周病密切相关。除口腔健康外,TC还通过涉及微生物易位和低度炎症的机制与吸入性肺炎、心血管疾病和糖尿病等全身性疾病相关。使用PubMed、谷歌Scholar、Web of Science、Medline等搜索引擎和数据库进行文献检索,关键词为“舌苔”、“舌苔清洁”、“口臭和口腔异味”。这篇综述评估了TC的病因、组成和健康影响,强调了其微生物多样性及其与口腔和全身状况的相关性。此外,它还检查了诸如机械清洁,化学处理和饮食调整等干预措施,以有效地管理TC。强调舌头卫生是日常口腔保健的一部分,对于增强口腔健康、减轻全身风险和提高生活质量至关重要。
Perspectives on tongue coating: etiology, clinical management, and associated diseases - a narrative review.
Tongue coating (TC) is a biofilm comprising desquamated epithelial cells, food debris, and microorganisms. TC is commonly found across populations and may hold significant implications for both oral and systemic health. Factors such as age, diet, smoking, and systemic conditions influence its formation. TC is a primary reservoir for pathogenic bacteria and is closely linked to halitosis and periodontal disease. Beyond oral health, TC has been associated with systemic diseases, including aspiration pneumonia, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, through mechanisms involving microbial translocation and low-grade inflammation. Literature search was performed using search engines and databases including, PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science and Medline, utilizing key words such as "Tongue coating," "Tongue cleaning," "Halitosis and Oral malodor". This review assesses the etiology, composition, and health implications of TC, highlighting its microbial diversity and correlation with oral and systemic conditions. Additionally, it examines interventions such as mechanical cleaning, chemical treatments, and dietary modifications to manage TC effectively. Emphasizing tongue hygiene as part of routine oral care is crucial for enhancing oral health, mitigating systemic risks, and improving quality of life.
