Abstract
Chronic bad breath, malodor or halitosis is a common symptom that often brings the patient to the physicians. Is necessary to differentiate genuine halitosis (physiological and pathological types), pseudo-halitosis and halitophobia. Tonsils stones are a pathological condition as a result of dysfunction of the self-cleaning mechanism of the tonsil crypts, which predisposes the accumulation of food residues in the tonsil crypts and formation of mass with an unpleasant smell. Including this symptom as a feature of chronic tonsillitis is still controversial. The presence of tonsil stones does not always cause discomfort or other signs and not must be treated. Tonsils stones are only 3% of all causes of halitosis. This fact must keep in mind during the diagnosis and treatment of halitosis. Over 90% of the halitosis deriving in the oral cavity.
