In Vitro Study for Appliotion of Electrolyzed Oxidizing Water to The Clinical Pediatric Dentistry

Abstract

This study was carried out to clarify the effects of electrolyzed oxidizing water on disinfection of toothbrushes as well as infected root canals in clinical pediatric dentistry.
The following results were obtained.
1. The disinfectant effects on the root canal increased in proportion to the amount of electrolyzed oxidizing water used.
2. The smear layer remaining in the canals could be removed to obtain more effective use.
3. Electrolyzed oxidizing water showed sterilizing effects to gram negative bacteria in bacterial dental plaque.
4. After washing of the toothbrush in flowing water, immersion in electrolyzed oxidizing water for a short time (one minute) showed disinfectant effects.
