This study aimed to compare the efficacy of ozonated water mouth rinse over chlorhexidine mouth rinse against the accumulation of plaque in chronic gingivitis patients.
A total of 30 patients with chronic generalized gingivitis were choosen for the study. The duration of this study was 15 days and was divided into three groups. Group 1 patients were advised to rinse with ozonated water¸ group 2 with a chlorhexidine mouth rinse and group 3 with water for 15 days. The clinical parameters like plaque index, gingival index, and bleeding index were recorded at baseline, 7th, and 15th day respectively. Saliva samples were collected for microbial culture at baseline that is before mouth rinse and on the 15th day that is after using mouth rinse from each patient.
The statistical analysis was performed by using ANOVA and Bonferroni's Post Hoc test on 30 patients at the end of the 15day. There was a significant decrease in mean plaque, gingival, and bleeding scores in group 2 patients that are chlorhexidine mouth rinse. There was also a decrease in the microbial culture at the end of the 15th day in patients with chlorhexidine mouth rinse compared to ozonated water.
The results of this study demonstrate that ozonated water was less effective compared to chlorhexidine mouth rinse in reducing plaque in gingivitis patients. But ozonated water can be used as an alternative to CHX.
本研究旨在比较臭氧水漱口与氯己定漱口对慢性牙龈炎患者牙菌斑积聚的疗效。
共选取30例慢性广泛性牙龈炎患者进行研究。本研究为期15天，分为三组。第1组患者被建议用臭氧水漱口，第2组用氯己定漱口液漱口，第3组用水漱口，为期15天。分别在基线、第7天和第15天记录菌斑指数、牙龈指数和出血指数等临床参数。在基线时（即漱口前）以及第15天（即使用漱口液后）从每位患者收集唾液样本进行微生物培养。
在第15天结束时，对30例患者使用方差分析和Bonferroni事后检验进行统计分析。第2组患者（即使用氯己定漱口液的患者）的平均菌斑、牙龈和出血评分显著降低。与臭氧水相比，使用氯己定漱口液的患者在第15天结束时微生物培养结果也有所下降。
本研究结果表明，在减少牙龈炎患者牙菌斑方面，臭氧水的效果不如氯己定漱口液。但臭氧水可作为氯己定的替代品使用。
