ABSTRACT

Objectives: Electrolyzed water has been proven to have antibacterial effects against various microorganisms. However, there are only a few studies about effects of electrolyzed water on oral bacteria. The purpose of this study was to examine the antibacterial effect of electrolyzed water on Streptococcus mutans in vitro. Methods: S. mutans KCOM 1054 was treated with electrolyzed water for 1 or 3 minutes and plated on Mitis Salivarius agar with 15% sucrose and bacitracin. After incubation for 48 hours, colony forming units (CFU) were counted, and dental plaque was quantified by crystal violet staining. Results: The growth of S. mutans was significantly inhibited by electrolyzed water (p<0.001). In addition, the dental plaque formation by S. mutans was decreased in a time-dependent manner by exposure to electrolyzed water (p<0.001). Conclusions: Our results suggest that electrolyzed water can effectively prevent dental caries by inhibiting growth of (and the formation of dental plaque by) S. mutans.
