Interestingly, another field of applicability of ozonized oils is dental medicine. Initially, given the antimicrobial and healing properties of ozone, the use of ozonized oils was only proposed as a disinfectant and healing aid. However, ozonized oils already have many other applications in this field. They are used, for instance, in the treatment of dental infections associated with periodontal disease, for plaque control, in the treatment of gingivitis, aphthous ulcers, oral herpes, oral thrush, angular cheilitis (mouth ulcers) and, they are potentially useful in patients with oral lichen planus (reducing the sensation of burning).
Furthermore, ozonized oils are also recommended after tooth extraction (because they allow for faster healing), for the treatment of receding gums, dental treatment, remineralisation of the tooth surface, tooth whitening, sensitive teeth and the prevention of cavities. Their preparation as a gel (like a toothpaste) also prevents tooth enamel demineralization when patients have to wear orthodontic prosthetics (such as braces).
