H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In 13 patients with periodontitis were divided into two groups: The control group (n = 6) or the HW group (n = 7), a reduction of oxidative stress by drinking hydrogen-rich water (HW) might be beneficial to periodontal health. This pilot study supports molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential for the condition studied, while larger randomized, placebo-controlled studies are needed to confirm the finding.
