Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by microorganisms existing in a subgingival biofilm. Ozone nano-bubble water (NBW3) seems to be suitable as an adjunct to periodontal treatment owing to its potent antimicrobial effects, high level of safety, and long storage stability. The results of this study suggest that NBW3 possesses potent bactericidal activity against representative periodontopathogenic bacteria and is not cytotoxic to cells of human oral tissues. NBW3 also has potent virus inactivation activity. The use of NBW3 as an adjunct to periodontal therapy would be promising.
