Ozone- A Biological Therapy in Dentistry- Reality or Myth?????

Abstract: The usage of ozone in dentistry has been proposed because of its antimicrobial, disinfectant, biocompatibility and healing properties. In the last decade a number of therapeutic protocols with ozone have been developed to address common dental infections associated with periodontal disease, RCT and caries. Despite these advantages, therapeutic ozone’s application in dentistry is limited because of its possible side effects. Hence, dental practitioners need to know the proper usage of ozone therapy that can pro… Show more

“…[ 25 ] Other authors showed less cytotoxic effect of ozone, as a potential antiseptic agent, if compared to other antimicrobials such as CHX, sodium hypochlorite, or hydrogen peroxide. [ 26 ] Therefore, ozone gel fulfills optimal cell biological characteristics in terms of biocompatibility for oral application. [ 15 ]…”
