Abstract
Ozone (O3) is an allotropic oxygen compound, found in abundance in the stratosphere and which, due to its antimicrobial, disinfectant and healing properties, provide therapeutic applications for more than 260 different pathologies. Ozone therapy is a technique that uses this gas, in its gaseous, aqueous and oily forms as a disinfection treatment option, being considered a safe, minimally invasive and conservative modality. This study aimed to review the literature on ozone therapy applied to dentistry, aiming to clarify its benefits and care during use as complementary therapy. For that, searches were carried out in databases addressing the theme proposed between 2007 and 2020, in three languages: Portuguese, English and Russian. It is concluded that Ozone therapy can be used safely and efficiently in dentistry as a complementary disinfection practice, without contraindications. Although laboratory studies have emerged as a promising potential for ozone in dentistry, more in-depth studies with standardized methodologies are needed to, in short, obtain more information about its applicability.
