Summary
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that destroys tooth-supporting structures through
oral bacterial plaque. ozone gel's act as an antimicrobial effect as an adjunct to
conventional periodontal therapy (scaling and root planning). exposure of bacteria to ozone
leads to the oxidation of the phospholipids and lipoproteins that comprise the bacterial cell
membrane. Ozone gel has the potential to play an anti-inflammatory role in the treatment of
periodontitis by monitoring both clinical and biological parameters.
