Abstract

Background: Various artificial chemical agents have been evaluated over many years with respect to their antimicrobial effect in oral cavity. The gold standard for removal of plaque is usage of chlorhexidine, but it can cause alteration in taste sensation and staining of teeth. Electrolytes and oxidizing water may be useful against microbes, but its clinical application has still not been evaluated. Hence this present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the alkaline ionized water on oral microbial flora.

Materials and methods: Ten non-carious, un-restored and intact freshly extracted human teeth were collected and sectioned using a round bur. Each tooth was sectioned longitudinally in two parts and stored in closed sterile containers which was filled with alkaline ionized water (Group 1) and normal water (Group 2), respectively for 15 days. The microbial growth was analyzed prior to dipping in the solutions, 3 days, 7 days and 15 days. The pH of alkaline ionized water and normal water was evaluated using pH meter before placing teeth in different solutions. Results were analyzed using t-test and the level of significance was set at ≤ 0.05.

Results: No difference in bacterial colony was observed before test and after 3 days among Group 1 and Group 2, respectively. After 7 days and 15 days, statistically significant decrease in bacterial colony count was seen among Group 1 as compared to Group 2 (P ≤ 0.05).

Conclusion: It was then concluded that alkaline ionized water can be effective in reduction of oral microbial flora.

碱性离子水和普通水对口腔微生物菌群的比较评估:体外研究
背景:多年来,人们对各种人工化学制剂在口腔中的抗菌效果进行了评估。清除牙菌斑的金标准是使用洗必泰,但它会导致味觉改变和牙齿染色。电解质和氧化水可能对微生物有用,但其临床应用尚未得到评估。因此,本研究旨在评估碱性离子水对口腔微生物菌群的有效性:收集 10 颗未龋坏、未修复和完整的新鲜拔出的人类牙齿,并用圆头錾刀将其切片。每颗牙齿被纵向切成两段,分别装入装有碱性离子水(第1组)和普通水(第2组)的密闭无菌容器中保存15天。在浸入溶液前、3 天、7 天和 15 天,对微生物生长情况进行了分析。将牙齿放入不同的溶液前,用 pH 计评估碱性离子水和普通水的 pH 值。结果采用 t 检验,显著性水平设定为 ≤ 0.05:试验前和 3 天后,第 1 组和第 2 组的细菌菌落数无差异。7 天和 15 天后,与第 2 组相比,第 1 组的细菌菌落数明显减少(P ≤ 0.05):结论:碱性离子水可有效减少口腔微生物菌群。

期刊介绍: The journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology [ISSN:print-(0973-029X, online-1998-393X)] is a tri-annual journal published on behalf of “The Indian Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathologists” (IAOMP). The publication of JOMFP was started in the year 1993. The journal publishes papers on a wide spectrum of topics associated with the scope of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, also, ensuring scientific merit and quality. It is a comprehensive reading material for the professionals who want to upgrade their diagnostic skills in Oral Diseases; allows exposure to newer topics and methods of research in the Oral-facial Tissues and Pathology. New features allow an open minded thinking and approach to various pathologies. It also encourages authors to showcase quality work done by them and to compile relevant cases which are diagnostically challenging. The Journal takes pride in maintaining the quality of articles and photomicrographs.
