In addition, the investigators will learn about the safety of ozonated water and hypochlorous acid solution. The main questions that participants need to answer are: What medical conditions do participants have while taking ozonated water and hypochlorous acid solution? Investigators will compare ozonated water and hypochlorous acid solution with 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate solution to see if it helps to restore the integrity of the oral mucosa. Participants: Participants will be asked to agree to receive oral care 4 times a day, every day for 1 week.
