The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of temperature-controlled radiofrequency tonsil ablation in the treatment of halitosis caused by chronic tonsil-litis with caseum. Materials & Methods: In this clinical trial study 28 adult patients with halitosis due to chronic tonsillitis with caseum were treated by temperature-controlled radiofrequency tonsil ablation and efficacy and complications of procedure were recorded and the data were analyzed by Spss software and paired t-test. Results: The difference between the amount of halitosis was statistically significant before and after the procedure (P }, URL = {http://sjh.umsha.ac.ir/article-1-26-en.html}, eprint = {http://sjh.umsha.ac.ir/article-1-26-en.pdf}, journal = {Avicenna Journal of Clinical Medicine}, doi = {}, year = {2015} }
