The therapeutic use of ozone has been suggested for a long time in general dentistry and paediatric dentistry for its antimicrobial, virucidal, disinfectant, and biocompatible properties. Ozone has also anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and immunostimulant properties, and it promotes tissue regeneration. Dental treatment in children is often complex and ozone could support the clinician to enhance the approach and prognosis with young patients, non-cooperant children, or special needs patients. The efficiency of ozone will certainly increase if studies continue to show positive outcomes in a growing number of dental paediatric conditions. This review explores the recent literature of ozone therapy in paediatric dentistry and suggests fields of application for future randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Abstract
The therapeutic use of ozone has been suggested for a long time in general dentistry and paediatric dentistry for its antimicrobial, virucidal, disinfectant, and biocompatible properties. Ozone has also anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and immunostimulant properties, and it promotes tissue regeneration. Dental treatment in children is often complex and ozone could support the clinician to enhance the approach and prognosis with young patients, non-cooperant children, or special needs patients. The efficiency of ozone will certainly increase if studies continue to show positive outcomes in a growing number of dental paediatric conditions. This review explores the recent literature of ozone therapy in paediatric dentistry and suggests fields of application for future randomized controlled trials (RCTs).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
