Ozone, a naturally occurring substance, is essentially super oxygen with high reactivity. In medical ozone therapy, ozone is generated using a specialized treatment device. At our dental office, we utilize the Longevity Ozone Generator unit, which is renowned for producing the purest ozone without any contaminants. Interestingly, this very unit is also utilized by NASA and MIT!
Ozone is highly effective as it penetrates even the finest grooves, gum pockets, and root canals, eliminating bacteria, viruses, and fungi upon contact. There are no known allergic reactions to ozone. In fact, our immune cells produce ozone in conjunction with hydrogen peroxide as part of their immune defense strategy. Therefore, we can conclude that at the proper concentration, Ozone can positively support the healing process and can fight fungi, bacteria, and viruses.
Local ozone therapy has been proven to be very effective when used during the insertion of implants. The reliable elimination of all kinds of germs has a positive effect on the subsequent healing process.
Local ozone application in case of an external cavity can arrest the growth of the cavity, occasionally eliminating the need for drilling. Even if drilling is necessary, ozone can be applied at the base of the cavity to disinfect the cut dentin because it penetrates the dentinal tubules.
In the case of bleeding gums and gum pockets, a small probe can be used to deliver ozone into the depth of the pocket, where it can destroy contact with harmful bacteria. If left untreated, these bacteria can quickly destroy the underlying bone.
Dental ozone therapy is also successfully used to alleviate pain caused by teeth hypersensitivity to sweet, sour, hot, and cold foods.
Local ozone therapy offers immediate relief from pressure sores and fungal infections associated with dentures.
Local application to the affected areas can relieve discomfort immediately and contribute significantly to the rapid abatement of ulcers, fungal diseases, and herpes lesions.
Incorporating ozone treatment into various therapeutic approaches offers promising results. For dental therapy, utilizing ozone treatment can significantly enhance oral health, addressing concerns such as dental infections and promoting faster wound healing after surgeries.
Additionally, employing nasal insufflation with ozone has been proven beneficial for sinus infections, helping to alleviate discomfort and promote healing. Moreover, before and after surgical procedures, ozone treatment showcases its efficacy in wound management, supporting the body's natural healing processes and contributing to improved overall outcomes.
