Ozone therapy in the treatment of small caries
Often the fear of the dentist is due to the fear of feeling pain. Until some time ago for the care of even a small cavity, the dentist had to resort to ‘much detested “trap”. Today, however, due to improvements in the techniques used in dentistry, you can use a new noninvasive method and above all completely painless. The technique is called ozone therapy and has already begun to wield a good spread, especially among young patients.
Magazine Cardiology Research has published a study of 80 subjects with lesions carouse in place. As a method of caries detection, we used the DIAGNOdent, a laser spot on the tooth that tells us whether or not there is a cavity even microscopic. Each lesion was then applied ozone for 30-40 seconds, depending on the clinical severity of each lesion.Then each tooth was placed on a material that serves to protect the wound and simultaneously releases fluoride.
After six months 80 people have been revisited and all patients, it seemed completely satisfied with the treatment with ozone and stated that the acceptance yet. 87% of injuries carouse earlier after treatment with ozone were completely healed.
The conclusions which are they? Therapy that uses ozone as a method of treatment for decayed teeth can be a viable substitute for traditional methods they saw as the main technique essentially eliminating damaged by eliminating in many cases the substance of good tooth care is the only handicap that can be used only for small and premature decay, the technique “drilling and filling” also remains the option of choice for lesions of greater magnitude.

We start from the mouth to prevent …
The modern dentistry, like any medicine, is based on the principle that “prevention is better than cure”. To make a correct prevention of the most important diseases of the mouth is necessary to know the causes for them. And now proven that the patient should actively cooperate in order to have healthy teeth and gums and dental hygiene dentists are its natural partners.
The main diseases of the teeth and their supporting tissues are caries and periodontal disease (i.e., periodontal disease, as was once known) and the main cause is bacterial plaque associated with predisposing factors such as smoking, genetic predisposition and habits.
The prevention of oral and dental diseases is the condition for certain will not occur at all, and then it means keeping the person in good health! The tooth cleaning done at the ‘dental hygienist is not just a beauty treatment, but the prerequisite for healthy teeth and everything that surrounds it is a virtually painless treatment that removes plaque (plaque mentioned earlier!) and tartar as well as the enamel surface stains caused by nicotine and coffee. The patient will then keep them home with results obtained through simple tips and aids chosen ad hoc and trying to improve the lifestyles with proper nutrition and eliminating bad habits (smoking a cigarette!).
The same bacteria responsible for this oral disease have been found within athermanous plaques, that is real fat deposits on the walls of the carotid arteries, the major arteries that carry blood to the brain. Preventing periodontal disease with the bacteria that cause it will lower the bacterial colonization of or pharynx and thereby diminish the risk of respiratory diseases.
A very important other body, which has been highlighted by recent studies is the relationship between pregnancy and periodontal disease. In fact today most women know that their general health during pregnancy is of fundamental importance for the fetus, but few of them are aware that an ‘alteration of their state of health to periodontal disease may affect the conditions General of the fetus and determine preterm births and underweight babies. The gingivitis of pregnancy affects a very high percentage of women with varying intensity, and this depends on the state of the gums prior to pregnancy.
From what was said so far shows the importance of control of bacterial plaque especially in view of pregnancy, making it vital to control tooth. The best time to solve its problems gum fact is that pre-pregnancy because you can take all the therapies available with any medication support, without having to consider possible consequences of treatment on the health of the fetus. It advisable then, once that has developed pregnancy, hygiene professional every 3 months to prevent the onset of inflammatory phenomena of the gums.
