ABSTRACT: Objectives: To evaluate the effects of ozone in periodontal
treatment in dental practice. Methods: An evaluation of the current state of
knowledge regarding the application of ozone in periodontal treatment revealed
limited available literature. Therefore an audit was conducted in dental
practice in order to evaluate the effects of ozone in periodontal treatment.
Twenty-five patients were treated with gaseous ozone after having had failed
conventional periodontal treatment. BPE scores and the six deepest pockets were
measured in each patient before and after the use of ozone. Results: From the initial number of
twenty-nine patients selected, twenty-five patients attended both follow up
appointments. Based on BPE scores, twenty of the patients have overall improvement
while five of the patients continued to have deterioration. Eight patients had
an improvement in depths of periodontal pockets by three millimetres, sixteen patients
had improvement by one to two millimetres and one patient did not improve.
The depth of pockets after the use of ozone decreased significantly (P Conclusion: The audit revealed that
gaseous ozone significantly (P
