[Ozonotherapy for the treatment of parodontitis]

The positive influence of O(3) ozone oil on the immune-morphological changes of mucous membrane is associated with several factors. It can be assumed that ozone oil has the ability of suppressing antigen binding feature of the mucous membrane of the gum. This may be concluded by the decrease of focal lympho-histio-monocytic infiltration in mucous membrane. On the other hand, ozone oil decreases the signs of catarrhal inflammation and concomitant immune-morphological changes. Ozone normalizes vascular permeability related with delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction. We can conclude that using ozone oil in the complex treatment of parodontitis results in very obvious morphological and clinical effects. This is manifested by the quick normalization of the clinical picture. The clinical indices normalized in three days. Bleeding and mucous discharge from the gums disappeared and the colour of the gums changed positively.
