Evaluation of Oral Mucosa Irritation produced by Ozone Gel

Abstract: Ozone is a potent oxidative gas and its bactericidal effect is exploited in dental practice. However, the half-life of ozone is extremely short, which limits its ability to exert bactericidal effects on cells. Therefore, we focused on ozone gel, which is composed of a glycerin solution containing ozone, a recently developed technology, in vivo. In the course of our study, we evaluated the safety of ozone gel application to the skin and eye, as well as its effects on hemostasis and antimicrobial effects. In thi… Show more

“…Recent studies have shown that OW is less irritating to the skin than traditional disinfectants, raising interest in OW as an alternative handwashing treatment (Breidablik et al, 2019 ; Kashiwazaki et al, 2020 ). Likewise, OG is also less irritating to the skin and has a longer ozone half-life than OW (Fukui et al, 2015 ; Wang et al, 2011 ).…”

“…As its name implies, ozonated glycerol (OG) is a glycerol gel containing ozone (Niinomi et al, 2004 ). More specifically, OG has been reported to have a long half-life (Niinomi et al, 2004 ), be safe for the skin, eyes, and oral mucosa (Fukui et al, 2015 ; Wang et al, 2011 ), as well as exert antibacterial (Niinomi et al, 2004 ; Fukui et al, 2014 ) and hemostatic (Sakai et al, 2014 ) effects.…”

“…1). The evaluation of oral mucosal irritation was performed using the method described in the previous reports (CTFA Safety Testing Guidelines, 1981;Fukui et al, 2015). Oral mucosal irritation was graded according to the Table 1, and irritancy scores were calculated by averaging the combined daily grades for the tongue dorsum, and labial mucosa and incisor gingiva of the mandibular oral vestibule.…”
