Abstract
ABSTRACT As antibiotic resistance is increasing daily, the desire to treat an infection without causing any harmful effects assumes increasing importance. Ozone gas is a reactive antioxidant. Its role in blood circulation and uplifting immunity is an ideal complement to achieving curative care treatments. Aside from treatments, the therapeutic and biological effects of ozone may have positive results by reducing tooth demineralization, its antimicrobial capabilities rely upon its ability to oxidize, which produces free radicals, and has immediate action on microbes. The usage of ozone in dentistry is recommended for a variety of purposes, which comprises carious lesion treatments, root canal disinfection, post-surgical treatment, tooth bleaching, periodontal problems, prosthodontics, and orthodontics. Ozone has the potential to be a promising alternative therapy in dentistry. However, well-designed research is needed to analyze ozone’s utilization in the field of dentistry to determine its importance from a clinical perspective so that the general public can benefit from it. This systematic review aims to describe the technique in which ozone can be advantageous as well as the many ways of applications of ozone therapy in dentistry.
