Abstract: Dear Editor, I read with great interest the article The transfer of hydrogen from inert gas to therapeutic gas by Li et al. 1 in the Medical Gas Research. I would like to suggest certain updates to the above review article regarding hydrogen rich water in oral pathology with emphasis on recent studies done in 2017. drogen-rich water suppresses gingival oxidative stress and alveolar bone resorption in oral cavity 2 : The study was conducted in 344 male Fischer rats divided into three groups of six rats each with a control group fed om regular diet and drinking distilled water and two experimental groups fed a high-fat diet and drinking distilled water or hydrogen-rich water. Oxidative stress was assessed from 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine and the bone mineral density of the alveolar bone was analyzed by microcomputerized tomography. Study group showed a higher gingival level of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine and a lower level of alveolar bone density compared to the control group. It was interfered that drinking hydrogen-rich water will suppress obesity, lower gingival level of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine and reduce alveolar bone resorption in rats on a high-fat diet.
