ABSTRACT
The aim of this article was to present the properties of ozone and its use in dentistry. Ozone is a chemical compound consisting of three atoms of oxygen with the molecular weight of 47.98 g/mol. It is an energy-rich and highly unstable form of oxygen. Ozone is a powerful oxidizer and it is strongly effective against bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites. It has been used successfully in the field of medicine for more than a decade. There are several known actions of ozone on the human body, such as: immunostimulating and analgesic, antimicrobial, bioenergetic and biosynthetic. Based on its properties, ozone is being used in various fields in dentistry, such as caries prevention, endodontics, periodontology, prosthetics, orthodontics and oral surgery. Modern dentistry is moving towards the use of minimally invasive procedures. Ozone therapy is quite promising as it is less invasive, has a potent disinfectant property and has minimal adverse effects. Evidence based studies and clinical trials are still required.
