Exploring the role of adjunctive ozone therapy in subperiosteal dental implantology: A case study and comprehensive literature review

This case report delineates the adjunctive utilization of Ozone Therapy in a 73-year-old patient presenting with severe bone atrophy and sinusitis, undergoing subperiosteal dental implant surgery. The perioperative regimen incorporated ozonized saline solutions and visible laser treatment, strategically implemented to expedite the healing process and mitigate discomfort. Post-surgical observations included minimal bleeding and initial slight swelling, followed by a remarkably rapid improvement in the healing trajectory, characterized by the absence of pain and subsidence of swelling within a week, facilitating an expedited resumption of regular dietary practices. The outcomes of this case underscore the potential role of Ozone Therapy in augmenting postoperative recovery, primarily through its antimicrobial attributes and the facilitation of enhanced tissue oxygenation.

This case exemplifies the potential utility of Ozone Therapy as a cost-effective, minimally invasive adjunct in the realm of dental implantology, positing a promising avenue for improving patient outcomes in similar clinical settings. Nevertheless, the necessity for extensive empirical research, particularly through randomized controlled trials, remains imperative to validate and elucidate the comprehensive efficacy and safety profile of Ozone Therapy in diverse dental surgical contexts.
