In addition to traditional approaches, dentists are increasingly integrating physical therapy methods into their clinical repertoire. Ozone therapy in dentistry represents a natural, non-invasive treatment option for addressing various common dental ailments. Its distinctive attributes include immunostimulatory, analgesic, antihypnotic, detoxifying, antimicrobial, bioenergetic, and biosynthetic properties. This therapy employs pure ozone, ozonated water, or ozonated oil to effectively eradicate microorganisms in the mouth and manage minor tooth decay, also known as dental caries. Ozone treatment offers numerous benefits, such as promoting remineralization, combating periodontal disease, and alleviating tooth sensitivity, without the side effects or discomfort associated with invasive procedures. Unlike treatments requiring anesthesia, ozone therapy does not require numbing and does not contain harmful chemicals that may compromise the immune system. This literature review aims to assess the clinical significance and potential applications of ozone in contemporary dental practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
