Summary

This randomized, placebo controlled, split-mouth clinical study trial evaluates the effects of Ozone therapy on clinical and biochemical parameters. Total of 20 participants completed the study . Periodontal parameters were evaluated at baseline and 3 months following periodontal therapy. All participants were treated non-surgically. Topical gaseous ozone was applied into periodontal pockets. Gingival crevicular fluid pentraxin-3 (PTX-3), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) were evaluated.

Detailed description

Ozone therapy (OT) is very popular in medicine. Especially it use for wound healing and antibacterial properties. This randomized, placebo controlled, randomized split-mouth clinical study evaluates the effects of ozone therapy on clinical and biochemical parameters. Total of 20 participants completed the study (10 males, 10 females). Periodontal parameters, including plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD), percentage of bleeding on probing, percentage of pockets deeper than 5 mm and clinical attachment level (CAL), and percentage of ≥3 mm clinical attachment level. Periodontal parameters were evaluated at baseline and 3 months following periodontal therapy. All participants were treated non-surgically. Topical gaseous ozone was applied into periodontal pockets twice a week for 2 weeks during active periodontal therapy. Gingival crevicular fluid pentraxin-3 (PTX-3), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) were evaluated.

Conditions

• Periodontitis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Ozone application with the Ozonytron XL device	An ozone generator (Ozonytron; Bionix, Munchen, Germany) with an KPX probe (CA Probe; Ozonytron, Bionix, Munchen, Germany) was used for OT. Topical gaseous ozone was applied into the periodontal pocket twice a week for 2 weeks based on the manufacturer's instructions. Ozone applications were at 75% power for 30 seconds (75 µg/ml). Ozone applications were performed by an experienced investigator. Ozone applications in the control side were simulated without starting the ozone generator
