Diş Hekimliğinde Ozon Terapisi

Diş hekimliğindeki gelişmelere paralel olarak insanlardaki hastalıklarla başetmek için çeşitli alternatif doğal ve basit çözümler üretilmiştir. Ozon terapisinin dişhekimliğinde kullanımı bu yöndeki uygulamalardan biridir. Ozon insanları ultraviole ışınlarından koruyan doğal bir elmenttir. Analjezik, immun sistemi uyarıcı ve antimikrobiyal birçok özelliği bulunmaktadır. Diş hekimliğinde gingival hastalıklarda, enfeksiyon kontrolünde, temporomandibular hatsalıklarda, radyasyon ve kemoterapiye bağlı mukozitte, liken planusta kullanım alanı bulmuştur. Araştırmacılar bu terapi yönteminin yarar-zarar oranının dengeli olduğunu bildirmişlerdir. Bu yazıda ozon terapisinin tarihçesi, özellikleri, uygulama yöntemleri, tıpta ve dış hekimliğinde kullanım alanları, toksisitesi, kontrendikasyonları gözden geçirilmiştir.
