Ozone in Dentistry: A Review

Keywords: Ozone, Dental Caries, Osteonecrosis, Root Canal Treatment

Abstract

Ozone (O3) is a natural gaseous molecule made up of three oxygen atoms.  It leads to lyses of the cell membrane of most of the bacteria that causes dental problems due to its oxidant and oxidizer properties. Ozone therapy opens a new vista in treatment of dental problems due to its atraumatic, biologically based treatment. This review explores the use of ozone in dentistry.
