“…Addy and Moran (1997) stated that the optimum dose of Chlorhexidine delivered by mouth rinse was 10 ml of 0.2% chlorhexidine. [16] G. Rolla and B. Melsen (1975) attributed mechanism of plaque inhibition by Chlorhexidine to blocking of acidic groups on the salivary glycoproteins, which reduces the protein adsorption to tooth surface and by binding to the surface of the salivary bacteria in sub-lethal amount including the polysaccharide coats, an interference with bacterial adsorption mechanism to the teeth may be imagined. [17] Lang et al (1982) concluded that rinsing with 0.2% Chlorhexidine mouth rinse significantly reduced the development of plaque.…”

Background: The beneficial uses of magnetized water in medical sciences has been tried but its application in the field of dentistry is still at its infancy. Magnetized water can be a cheaper alternative to adjuncts used for chemical plaque control. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of conventionally prepared magnetized water and 0.2% Chlorhexidine on gingival and plaque status among children attending a Government Dental College. Methods: The present double blinded randomized control clinical study was carried out in Department of Pedodontics, Govt. Dental College, Srinagar. A total of 75 children between 12-15 years were randomly allocated into 3 groups A, B and C, each comprising of 25 subjects who were asked to rinse with Mint Water (Control Group), Magnetized water and 0.2% Chlorhexidine respectively. Examination was carried on day 0 (Baseline), 14 days (2 weeks) and 21 days (3 weeks) whose Turesky-Gilmore Modification of Quigley Hein Plaque Index and Gingival Index were assessed. Results: There was a significant difference in the mean PI and GI scores of magnetized water and Chlorhexidine groups when compared with that of Control group, both at 14 days (2 weeks) and at 21 days (3 weeks). Conclusion: It was concluded that both Magnetized water and 0.2% Chlorhexidine showed less plaque accumulations as well as improvement in the gingival status as compared to the control group.

“…However, repeated use of CHX results in the discoloration of the teeth as well as the tongue, and in the taste perturbation [16,17]. Thus, mouthrinse with CHX is limited to the case where meticulous plaque control is required, such as plaque control during treatment of severe periodontitis or after periodontal surgery [18]. Accordingly, although CHX has been proven effective as a preventive agent, it has not been recommended as a therapeutic agent in periodontal therapy [14].…”

The hydroxyl radical, one of the reactive oxygen species, has one unpaired electron in the structure, so that it tends to deprive other substances of an electron which is so-called oxidation. It is known that hydroxyl radicals produced by immunological response kill invading microorganisms by the oxidation. Besides the immune system, it has been demonstrated that hydroxyl radicals play an important role in the bactericidal action of antibiotics. In this context, we have conducted a research to develop disinfection techniques utilizing artificially generated hydroxyl radicals. We adopted photolysis of H 2 O 2 , sonolysis of water and the other photo-chemical reaction as generators of hydroxyl radicals. A series of studies demonstrated that the microbicidal activity of hydroxyl radicals was sufficient to kill bacteria in an experimental biofilm as well as planktonic bacteria and fungi within a short-treatment time. In addition, the safety aspect is confirmed by an in vivo study and a literature review. Thus, it is suggested that disinfection treatment utilizing artificially generated hydroxyl radicals can be applicable to medical/dental therapy as novel disinfection treatments.
