“…In Endodontics, studies have focused on the use of ozone as an irrigating agent or an intracanal medication (4,(12)(13)(14)(15). Despite pioneering applications of ozone in Endodontics (16), no consensus has yet been reached about the experimental results (17). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of intracanal medications based on ozone and CH in root canals contaminated with E. faecalis.…”

This ex vivo study evaluated the antibacterial effect of intracanal medications in root canals contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis. Fifty single-rooted human teeth were contaminated with E. faecalis (ATCC 29212) and incubated at 37°C for 21 days. The specimens were randomly divided into 5 groups according to the intracanal medication used: OZ-PG: ozonized propylene glycol; CH/CPMC: calcium hydroxide/camphorated paramonochlorophenol; OZ-PG/CH ozonized PG/CH; PC: positive control group (no medication); and NC: negative control group (no contamination). The samples were collected after 7 days (post-medication) and 14 days (final). Bacterial growth was checked by counting the colony-forming units (CFU). OZ-PG and CH/CPMC reduced significantly the CFU counts compared with PC in the post-medication and final samples, with no statistically significant differences among them. On the other hand, OZ-PG/CH did not reduce significantly the number of bacteria compared with PC. In conclusion, among the evaluated medications OZ-PG and CH/CPMC were the most effective against E. faecalis.

“…In Endodontics, studies have focused on the use of ozone as an intracanal medication and as an irrigant agent (7)(8)(9)(10). Despite pioneering applications of ozone in treatment of pulpitis and pulp gangrene (11), no consensus has been reached about the experimental results (12). The purpose of this study was to chemically evaluate the presence of dissolved ozone in sunflower, castor, olive and almond oils, as well as in propylene glycol vehicle and byproducts usually formed after reaction with ozone and organic molecules containing double bonds of ozonation, such as formaldehyde.…”

Most of the problems of endodontic origin have a bacterial etiological agent. Thus, there is a continued interest in seeking more effective chemical substances that can replace the camphorated paramonochiorophenol or antibiotics as intracanal medicaments. Among the possible substances, ozone has some interesting biological characteristics: bactericidal action, debriding effect, angiogenesis stimulation capacity and high oxidizing power. The purpose of this study was to chemically evaluate the presence of ozone in sunflower, castor, olive and almond oil, as well as in propylene glycol and byproducts of ozonation, such as formaldehyde. These compounds were ozonized, inserted into empty and sterile vials, and analyzed by testing the reaction between ozone and indigo, for determining the presence of ozone, and subjected to the chromotropic acid test for determining the presence of formaldehyde. It was observed complete absence of ozone in all samples tested and presence of formaldehyde. The bactericidal and healing action of ozonized oils could be attributed to products formed by the ozonation of mineral oils, such as formaldehyde, not to the ozone itself.
