There is growing interest in the use of ozone in dentistry. Anecdotally, many clinicians believe that the superiority of ozone therapy over conventional dental treatment has not yet been proven. At this time, dental applications of ozone are not included in the clinical guidelines or standards of care documents published by the various dentists associations and academies throughout the world. Ozone is used in dentistry in gaseous, ozonated water and as ozonated oils. Ozone was shown to be biocompatible and is used in all aspects of dentistry. It has been shown to stimulate remineralization of recent caries-affected teeth and is used as a preventive therapy in caries, root caries, and intracanal irrigants in endodontic treatment.
