Ozone Therapy

What is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone is a powerful oxygen-based oxidizing agent and has been used in medicine for many years. Especially in dentistry, ozone therapy provides painless and anesthesia-free destruction of decay-causing bacteria. Ozone offers the opportunity to gently treat cavities and helps to clean cavities by applying directly to the tooth surface.

What is Ozone?

Ozone is a naturally occurring gas in the atmosphere.
It is an energized form of oxygen formed when UV radiation comes into contact with oxygen.
It can also occur during electrical storms and can be recognized by its distinctive odor.
Ozone can be produced commercially in generators and is converted into oxygen within an average of 40 minutes after production.
It produces a strong oxidative effect and reacts quickly with other chemicals.
Benefits of Ozone

The ozone layer in the atmosphere protects our planet by filtering out harmful UV radiation.
Ozone is an effective bactericidal agent and deactivates viruses and fungi.
It kills bacteria 3500 times faster than chlorine-based agents.
It is a natural purifier and strengthens the immune system.
It is used as a powerful therapeutic agent in dentistry.
Use of Ozone in Dentistry

Ozone therapy is based on the direct application of ozone to the tooth surface and this is done in a controlled manner.
Ozone destroys caries-causing bacteria painlessly, without anesthesia and without the use of rotary instruments.
With 30-40 seconds of ozone application, 99.9% of bacteria are destroyed.
Ozone is also effective in fissure, root and soft surface caries.
Traditional filling and cavity preparation is not necessary in many cases.
Ozone therapy provides remineralization (reconstruction) and hardening of caries.
In children over 12 years of age, it is possible to harden and increase the resistance of teeth with ozone therapy.
How Does Ozone Device Work?

The ozone device converts oxygen into ozone and applies ozone gas to the bacteria that cause caries for 30-40 seconds.
After the process, ozone is vacuumed back and converted into oxygen.
Uses of Ozone in Medicine

Destruction of micro-organisms such as HIV
Disinfection of open wounds
Improving blood circulation in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Treatment of rheumatic diseases
Slowing the development of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
Treatment of dermatological disorders such as burns, acne, ulcers, fungus
Ozone therapy is used in many areas of dentistry and general medicine as a safe, effective and painless method.
