What is ozone therapy for dental_dentistry treatment?|AQUAPURE OZONE GENERATOR|
Dental ozone therapy is one of those most popular ozone applications in the world today.It has been indicated for the treatment of 260 different pathologies, and presents great advantages when used as a support for conventional treatments and is indicated for use in a wide range of dental specialties.
Why ozone can be used for dentistry?
Antioxidant enzymes, such as: superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, etc. are existed in the membranes of healthy cells. There are also antioxidants such as: vitamin C, vitamin E, etc. present in the extracellular matrix fluids, plasma, etc. These antioxidants protect the healthy cells from being oxidized (burned up) by ozone. However, pathogens such as: Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi, and Parasites have little or no antioxidant enzymes in their cell membranes. This makes them vulnerable to oxidants. An oxidant (ozone, chlorine, etc.) will destroy the cell membrane of the pathogen resulting in a disinfecting or sterilizing effect. Ozone leaves NO TOXIC BYPRODUCTS like chlorine compounds (trihalomethanes, etc.) leave in vivo or ex vivo. The final breakdown products of O3 are water and oxygen.
What benefits you can get from ozone dental therapy?
When ozone is used in Dental procedures it treats the cause of the problem NOT JUST the symptom. This produces a proactive approach to treatment rather than solely engaging in the routine procedure of damage control.
Oral lesions are caused by various etiological factors; micro-organisms playing a major role for the same.Elimination of these microbial pathogens form the mainstay of an effective dental treatment. Various bacteria have been studied in relation to ozone treatment. It has been reported that an exposure of about 60s exhibited 99.9% killing efficiency against cariogenic bacteria such as Actinomyces naeslundii, Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus casei. However, exposure for such a long period showed degradation of salivary proteins and hence 10s–30s of exposure was proven to be effective in killing a significant number of bacteria. Besides, Ozone application has various beneficial effects on the oral tissues including remission of various mucosal alterations, enhanced wound healing and increased turnover rate of oral cells.
How to use ozone for dental therapy?
Routine use of ozonated water as a pretreatment patient rinse to disinfect their oral cavity. Get high concentration ozone from the dental ozone generator to the water glass cup (of flask) for 15-30 minutes. Make sure the ozone-off gas are connected to the ozone destructor. This protects you and your staff from smelling too much ozone. Ozone performs this disinfection and sterilization and leaves only oxygen and water as byproduct.
In patient care, ozone is utilized in two forms: (1) ozonated water and (2) pure oxygen/ozone gas. Using these two agents in combination allows the Dentist to treat all oral infections using only oxygen and water! Regardless of the location or the type of infection ozone is able to treat almost any situation. The ozonated water is the perfect irrigation solution for periodontics and endodontics. For operative dentistry, periodontics and endodontics, ozone gas is used to reach and penetrate areas such as: carious dentin, dentinal tubules, accessory canals and periodontal pockets where no other antibiotic or disinfectant can reach.
