“…This choice and the related risk of bias might have affected their findings. Overall, ozone treatment must be considered as a component of a multi-tool oral care strategy, which includes individual factors such as a healthy and anti-carious dietary regimen, the use of fluoride-containing and remineralizing products, and the implementation of appropriate dental care programs and oral hygiene measures [ 51 , 52 , 53 ]. These factors can influence the risk of caries, the clinical evolution of carious lesions, and the effectiveness over time of all management interventions.…”

“…Only one of the included studies used an open-system device [ 43 ]. A sealed suction system is usually considered a safer option, allowing for higher and more effective ozone concentrations to be delivered, while preventing possible adverse effects that may occur upon inhalation [ 28 , 51 ]. Information regarding ozone concentration and flow rate were not always clearly reported and in two cases they were drawn from manufacturers’ specifications [ 42 , 43 ].…”

Dental caries in children is a frequent and debilitating condition, whose management is often challenging. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the effectiveness of ozone applications for the treatment of caries in primary dentition. According to PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature search was performed up to 6 January 2024. Clinical studies using ozone to treat caries of deciduous teeth were considered for inclusion. Out of the 215 records retrieved, seven studies were eventually included in the review, all of which used gaseous ozone. Four studies were judged at high risk of bias, two at low risk, and one of some concerns. The great heterogeneity of designs, outcomes, and protocols made it impossible to conduct a meta-analysis. Despite some limitations, the evidence yielded by the included studies suggests that ozone application, regardless of the protocol applied, is comparable to other interventions in terms of clinical outcomes and anti-bacterial activity, with no reported adverse effects and good patient acceptance. Therefore, ozone application may be a non-invasive approach to treat caries in primary dentition, especially in very young and poorly cooperative patients. Further standardized and rigorous studies are, however, needed to identify the best clinical protocols for this specific field.

“…In recent years, the introduction of new devices has made it possible to apply a high dosage concentration of 32 g/m 3 of gas directly on the tooth surfaces, taking it from a special canister of O2 [7,24]. The use of a silicon cup makes possible to isolate the area to treat ad control the dosage of ozone applied [8,13].…”

Objectives Evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of diode laser and gas ozone in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity (DHS) of non-carious-cervical lesion. Materials and methods 88 teeth from 44 patients with moderate DHS were randomised into two groups according to a split-mouth design. In the diode laser group, the operator at first applicated the fluoride and potassium nitrate gel and then irradiated the superficial dentine exposed with 808 wavelength, incremental power from 0,2 to 0,6 W, with 20 seconds of interval. In the gas ozone group, the operator applicated, using a silicon cup, a high dose of ozone (32 g/m3) for 30 seconds. The subjects underwent a first evaluation of the dentin sensitivity level (T0), directly after treatment (T1), after 3 months (T2), and after 6 months (T3), with a cold air blast challenge and tactile stimuli. The pain severity was quantified according to the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon and Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons (p=0.05). Results A significant decrease of DHS were observed in both groups immediately, after 3 and 6 months of the therapy. After 6 months from the therapy, the sensitivity values in the teeth treated with gas ozone remain statistically lower than those treated with diode lasers (p=0.00026). Conclusion Laser diode and gas ozone are both efficient as dentin sensitivity treatment. Ozone maintains an invariable effectiveness after 6 months. Clinical relevance Laser diode and gas ozone can be recommended to reduce dentinal hypersensitivities. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05853523

“…In the postoperative period, OSS is used only in oral baths, and applications with ozonated oil are required to the suture line. The concentration of ozone to obtain OSS is 2-3 mg/L [29]. The local application of ozone favorably affects the postoperative course.…”

The article covered the function and results of ozone treatment in managing and preventing dental caries. Specifically, the author examined ozone and its benefits, including bactericidal, analgesic, antiinflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. Ozonated water, ozonated olive oil, and ozone gas are forms of ozone used in dentistry. The authors provided examples of studies regarding the positive impact of ozone therapy on patients with caries. Also, the research authors described several effects of ozonated water, namely, disinfectant, anti-inflammatory, activation of intracellular metabolism of the oral mucosa and dental wounds, advancement of local blood circulation, provocation of regenerative functions, and hemostatic effect in capillary bleeding. The ozone generator and equipment for creating an ozone-oxygen (O3/O2) gas mixture were mentioned as required in dentistry to produce ozone.
