Management of gingival inflammation in orthodontic patients with ozonated water irrigation - a pilot study

Abstract

A single subgingival irrigation of 0.01 mg l(-1) ozonated water can effectively reduce the gingival inflammation in orthodontic patients, which is also reflected in the reduction of LDH enzyme levels. However, further randomized controlled trials are required to validate the use of ozone irrigation in orthodontic patients for plaque control measures.
