Abstract

Dentistry is in a continual battle with infection, soft tissue, and/or hard tissue. These infections come from bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. An infection can be of a single organism or a combination of all the above. The use of ozone in dentistry is gaining place in every day's dental practise and is used in almost all dental applications with no toxicity and side effects. The undisputed disinfection power of ozone in dentistry is a very good alternative and/or additional disinfectant to standard antiseptics. Ozone therapy in dentistry is now the new standard of care in all disciplines of dentistry. Ozone therapy holds great potential as an atraumatic treatment modality to incorporate into dental practice.
