Dr. Chandni Adalja, Dr. Neeraj Deshpande, Dr. Deepak Dave

Abstract :

Ozone, an allotropic form of oxygen is an unstable gas which has been successfully used in the treatment of various diseases for more than hundred years. It is highly valued for various effects, such as antimicrobial, antihypoxic, analgesic, immuno–stimulating and biosynthetic effect on biological systems. In comparison with classical medicine modalities such as antibiotics and disinfectants, ozone therapy is quite inexpensive, predictable and conservative. Accumulation of bacterial plaque in increased amounts leads to gingivitis and periodontitis. The application of ozone therapy has shown promising results in periodontics. Although more clinical research has to be done to standardize indications and treatment procedures of ozone therapy, still many different approaches are so promising, or already established, that hopefully the use of ozone therapy becomes a standard treatment for disinfection of an operation sites in dentistry.
