Ozone: A New Horizon in Dental Treatment Modalities

This book emphasizes the role of ozone in dentistry while also highlighting its medical applications. A sincere effort has been made to present a comprehensive overview supported by studies on ozone therapy. The growing demand for minimally invasive dental procedures has increased the importance of ozone in modern dentistry. Its broad application in multifactorial dental infections, combined with the absence of known severe side effects, has contributed to its increasing popularity. Ozone gas possesses immunostimulating, analgesic, detoxifying, antimicrobial, bioenergetic, and biosynthetic properties, promoting the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. Ozonated water and ozonated olive oil provide effective delivery systems due to their ability to trap and gradually release oxygen and ozone. Environmentally friendly and clinically versatile, ozone therapy represents a promising direction for the future of green dentistry.
