Clinical and laboratory assessment of the antimicrobial effect of water ozonated with short-wave ultraviolet radiation on the microbiota of periodontal pockets in the complex treatment of periodontitis

Abstract

The study is devoted to the study of the effect of water ozonated with the help of short-wave ultraviolet radiation, used in the removal of dental plaque and hydromassage of the gums, on the microbiota of periodontal pockets.Examination and treatment of 102 patients aged 35–55 years with a diagnosis of chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate severity was carried out. The results of microbiological studies indicate the high efficiency of the removal of dental plaque using water ozonated with short-wave ultraviolet radiation and hydromassage of the gums in the complex treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate severity. The study of the microbiota of periodontal pockets after the use of ozonized water showed a significant decrease in the frequency of detection of representatives of anaerobic periodontopathogens, with an increase in the sowing of species of stabilizing microbiota.
