Scientific Studies on Ozone Nanobubbles

At YamatoAqua , we back our technology with scientific evidence. In this section, you'll find a compilation of scientific studies, articles, and clinical case reports that demonstrate the benefits of Ozone Nanobubbles (NBO₃) for human and animal health, as well as for industry.

  • Comparative analysis of the efficacy of ozone nanobubble water (NBW3) versus known antimicrobials. Bactericidal efficacy and cellular response.

    The objective of this study was to determine the effect of NBW3 on sterilization and cytotoxicity. Ozone nanobubbles showed significant bactericidal activity against oral infectious bacteria and were biocompatible with mammalian cells compared to conventional mouthwashes.

  • Effects of ozone nanobubble water on periodontal bacteria and oral cells

    The objectives of this study were to evaluate the bactericidal activity of a novel antiseptic agent, ozone nanobubble water (NBW3), against periodontopathogenic bacteria and to assess the cytotoxicity of NBW3 against human oral cells. The results suggest that NBW3 possesses potent bactericidal activity against representative periodontopathogenic bacteria and is not cytotoxic to human oral tissue cells.

  • Caring for Your Teeth and Mouth: Growing Evidence of the Connection Between Oral Health and Dementia Risk

    Growing evidence of the connection between oral health and dementia risk. Studies show evidence of the connection between poor oral health and dementia risk. In 2020, scientists from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) found that those with symptoms of periodontal disease and oral infections were more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease or dementia.

  • Ozone therapy for skin diseases: cellular and molecular mechanisms - Ozonated hydrotherapy

    Ozone is frequently used as a complementary therapy for various skin conditions, including infectious skin diseases, wound healing, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, axillary osmidrosis, diabetic foot, and pressure ulcers. Furthermore, several studies have reported the superior potential of ozone therapy for improving skin and gut microbiomes, as well as for anti-tumor and anti-aging treatment.

  • Ozone therapy in the management and prevention of caries

    Ozonated water and other variants are forms of ozone used in dentistry, with a positive impact on patients with caries. Furthermore, the authors of the study described several effects of ozonated water, namely disinfectant, anti-inflammatory, activation of intracellular metabolism in the oral mucosa and dental wounds, improvement of local blood circulation, stimulation of regenerative functions, and hemostatic effect on capillary bleeding.

  • Evaluation of the effect of ozonized water in the treatment of denture stomatitis associated with removable prostheses

    This study evaluated and compared the impact of ozonized water versus chlorhexidine mouthwash on the healing of intraoral inflammation associated with complete dentures. Ozonized water showed favorable results in reducing the area, intensity of inflammation, and degree of pain. Ozonized water has an antifungal effect and can be used as an alternative mouthwash for the treatment of denture stomatitis.

  • Ozone therapy: a new perspective in dentistry

    Ozonated water can be used as a pretreatment mouthwash for patients undergoing dental treatment to disinfect their oral cavity. Ozonated water used in the dental chair water supply, the pizo reservoir, and during the ultrasonic scaling procedure helps protect the dental surgeon and their auxiliary and technical staff from aerosol contaminants. It also prevents biofilm formation on the inlet and outlet drainage of the dental chair. Ozone sterilizes, leaving only oxygen and water as byproducts.

  • Therapeutic potential of ozone water treatment for the relief of atopic dermatitis symptoms: exploring its direct bactericidal and anti-inflammatory properties.

    This study aimed to verify the bactericidal effects of ozonized water at different concentrations against staphylococcal species in vitro, as well as to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of ozonized water. These findings indicate that ozone administration may be a novel therapeutic approach for the management of allergic skin diseases.

  • Two cases of palmoplantar pustulosis treated with ozone nanobubble water mouthwash in addition to conventional topical therapy.

    Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a unique, chronic inflammatory skin disease. Its etiology and treatment are not clearly established. Recently, oral bacteria have been proposed as a possible causative factor for PPP. Ozone nanobubble (ONB) water, which exhibits potent sterilizing activity, has garnered interest as a new treatment method not only for periodontal disease but also for PPP.

  • Odor elimination in cold storage rooms with ozone nanobubbles in mist

    A common problem in cold storage is odor contamination. Nanobubble ozone mist has been shown to eliminate odor-causing VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Therefore, it was chosen as a solution to eliminate these odors.

  • Controlling meat spoilage with ozone nanobubbles

    The lethality of ozone nanobubbles against carcinogenic microorganisms was compared with that of peracetic acid. Ozone nanobubbles reduced cell counts in meat by 0.5 to 1 log(CFU/cm²). A higher flow of ozone nanobubbles increased their lethality. The laboratory results were validated for commercial-scale pork production.

  • Enhanced washing with ozone nanobubbles for greater longevity and safety of food products.

    This study presents novel ozone nanobubble technology that can dramatically improve food safety systems and extend the shelf life of fresh tree fruits and post-harvest washed pome fruits, initially focusing on apples. This technology will provide the necessary additional protection for the substantial financial investments made during the decade-long process of breeding trees to maturity to produce innovative and highly profitable apple varieties.

  • Micro- and nanobubble-enhanced ozonation technology: a synergistic approach to pesticide removal

    The production, consumption, and disposal of pesticides worldwide are generating increasing concerns about their impacts on human and environmental health. This article promotes the development and use of micro and nanobubble ozone not only in agriculture, but also in aquaculture, fisheries, food industries, and food storage and packaging to reduce and degrade residual pesticides in food and support environmental sustainability, as well as improve international trade.

  • Microbubble and nanobubble technology for cleaning and descaling surfaces

    The physicochemical characteristics of microbubbles and nanobubbles (MNBs) have attracted considerable interest due to their potential use in various industries, such as water treatment, agriculture, healthcare, and environmental remediation. This review focuses on the roles of MBs and, specifically, NBs in cleaning and descaling applications by thoroughly examining their stability, generation, and interaction with surfaces.

  • Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) based on high-performance ozone nanobubbles for the degradation of organic pollutants under high pollutant load.

    Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have proven to be an effective solution for the chemical treatment of wastewater, particularly for the degradation of organic pollutants, especially dyes. This study demonstrates the use of ozone nanobubbles to enhance the degradation of organic compounds under high pollution load conditions. Ozone nanobubbles increase degradation rates sevenfold compared to ozone microbubbles.
