Treating periodontal disease

Treating periodontal disease

Nanobubbles water is pioneering disruptive breakthrough in dental care. These small bubbles, which are impregnated with gasses in a liquid matrix, have the possibility of breakthrough dental applications. Bulk nanobubbles show potential in the treatment of periodontal disorders, particularly peri-implantitis.

Arakawa et al. used a water solution injected with ozone nanobubbles to treat patients suffering from peri-implantitis-induced bone loss and inflammation. Over a 12-week period, treatment of the afflicted region with ozone nanobubbles resulted in a considerable reduction in bacterial presence, leading to inflammation resolution and bone tissue regeneration.

Furthermore, using ozone nanobubbles in periodontal disease therapy provides a non-invasive and patient-friendly alternative to typical surgical procedures. Surgical methods for peri-implantitis can be invasive, cause severe discomfort, and need extended recovery times. The efficacy of ozone nanobubbles therapy in concert with mechanical plaque control highlights a possible paradigm change in the management of periodontal diseases by providing a viable therapeutic option without the necessity for surgery.
This therapy’s efficacy is dependent on the unique features of bulk nanobubbles. Nanobubbles are tiny and stable, allowing them to penetrate deep into periodontal pockets and efficiently target the microbial biofilm associated with peri-implantitis. The antibacterial characteristics of ozone help to reduce bacterial presence, resulting in an environment conducive to healing and tissue regeneration.
The ozone nanobubbles solution’s sustained stability over six months gives a further benefit, allowing patients to finish the therapy without having to attend the clinic on a regular basis. This convenience not only increases patient compliance, but it also eliminates possible hurdles to access, making the treatment strategy more accessible to a larger population.
