The effectiveness of subgingival irrigant ozone-based as adjuvant for non-surgical periodontal therapy in the treatment of chronic periodontitis: a review
Vol 34, Issue 3S1, 2020
Abstract
The aim of this review was to establish the efficacy of Ozone therapy (OT) in Periodontal diseases (PD) tratment. An electronic search of publications was established from two electronic databases: PubMed and Web of Science. The search strategy used a combination of controlled vocabulary and freetext words. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined by the authors before the start of the study. The inclusion criteria were: all studies published in English language; studies in vivo on humans; studies analyzing the correlation between PD and OT. The search resulted in 102 titles. Only 9 articles were included in the quantitative analysis. By the analyzed studies a strictly connection is still not evincible. More clinical trials are recommended to investigate the role of ozone, in its various types of topical administration, as a valid subgingival irrigant to achieve the goal of periodontal tissue health.
