Effect of Magnetized Water Mouthrinse on in Plaque and Saliva in Children: An Study.

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of magnetized water as a mouthwash on colony count of in children.

Materials And Methods: Total sample size of 30 children were selected out of screened 290 children by simple random sampling between the age group of 7 and 12 years. The study was conducted over a period of 2 weeks. After selection of the children according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, children were allowed using 10 mL of 72 hours magnetized water for 3 minutes twice in a day for a period of 2 weeks, and further plaque and saliva samples were collected at 1- and 2-week intervals from baseline. Microbiological analysis of plaque and saliva samples was done by Dentocult SM strip kit (Orion Diagnostica, Finland), and the results were statistically analyzed and tabulated.

Results: Statistically, there was highly significant reduction in S. count in plaque as well as in saliva after 1- and 2-week intervals from baseline.

Conclusion: So, finally our study showed that magnetized water is as effective a mouthwash against and has better action in plaque as compared with saliva. It can be used as an adjunct to commercially available mouthwashes. Goyal AK, Rathore AS, Garg M Mathur R, Sharma M, Khairwa A.
