Methods: 90 extracted teeth were allocated into two groups. Teeth in Group 1 (n= 45) were exposed to ozone for 60 seconds; ozone was produced by healOzone x4 machine (healOzone x4), and was applied to teeth through special disposable silicone cups.
This study aimed to evaluate the use of ozone to treat recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS). Consecutive sixty-nine participants with RAS were recruited into this non-randomized double blind, controlled cohort observational study (test group). A control group of 69 RAS patients who matched test group with age and gender was recruited.

Methods: 70 extracted teeth were randomly distributed into two groups. Teeth surfaces in group 1 (n=35) were treated using 38% H2O2 and then were exposed to ozone for 60s and this ozonated peroxide mixture was left on the teeth for 20 min.
