AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how ozone treatment affects tooth enamel microstructure over time, using precise measurement and observation techniques.
- Ozone exposure for 40-50 seconds was found to significantly improve the micro-hardness of enamel and achieve a high remineralization rate.
- The findings suggest that ozone therapy could serve as a promising less invasive approach for treating cavities and providing antimicrobial benefits in dentistry.
Article Abstract
The paper aims to study the impact of ozone (O3) treatment on the microstructural changes of the tooth enamel after the treatment at different time intervals. The ozonation was performed with gaseous O3 produced by HealOzone X4, the demineralization level was measured with the DiagnoDent Pen 2190 device, and the microstructure changes of enamel surface were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The results showed the exposure to O3 for 40-50 seconds enhanced enamel micro-hardness and ensures a rate of remineralization between 96.82-97.38%. In conclusion, in search of new minimally invasive solutions in the treatment of caries and to offer antimicrobial support of the oral cavity, the use of O3 as an alternative therapy to classical solutions may be a viable solution in dentistry.
