ozonated water matches povidone iodine's antimicrobial effect against common oral pathogens
Ozonated water (4 mg/l) showed comparable antimicrobial activity to povidone iodine (2.3 mg/ml) against S. mutans and C. albicans in pure culture, with no significant differences detected.
What this means for you
Povidone iodine is one of the most widely used antiseptics in clinical settings. Finding that ozonated water performs comparably against the same bacteria and fungi suggests ozone may support a similarly strong antimicrobial environment — without harsh chemicals. For anyone focused on oral wellness, that's a meaningful data point.
