Abstract:IntroductionSlightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) is sterilizing agent produced by the electrolysis of hydrochloric acid. Because SAEW has been applied to various foods as the disinfectant, SAEW is expected to be used in the medical field. In this study, we evaluated the bactericidal effect of SAEW on various oral bacteria.MethodologyThe bactericidal activity of SAEW against cariogenic bacteria, periodontopathogenic bacteria, and antibiotic‐resistant bacteria was evaluated.ResultsWe first examined the effe… Show more
