From: Robert on 1 Sep 2008 10:21 A friend forwarded me an article that advocates ozone straight on for root canal. See page 4 in particular. Are their points valid? Is this a useful tool? http://www.toxinfreesmile.com/images/Ozone-Integrating%20Oxygen%20Ozone%20Thearpy%20into%20Your%20Practice.pdf Note that the web site pointing to it does not appear to be the author of the article.

Shortly there is not any problem to get good results without it. For ozone - it is extra equipment additional for office . In this case there is NOT any maschines and equipment to exchange quality of handy dentists job. I am sure there is a lot of dentists who get excellent results of treatment without ozone :)) regards kris -Polanowski

Is this a useful tool? > <snipping link now broken by Google.Groups> Let's see if I can ferret them out: "same antimicrobial activity as 2.5 percent sodium hypochlorite with none of the toxicity." True. It also does not liberate chlorine gas into the workspace, but it will liberate ozone gas. Works faster than NaOCl too (not that anyone pours bleach into someone's mouth, Proof against more types of organisms too. Poorly cited article... "metabolic activity in the associated fibroblasts was high with exposure to ozonated water" Probably true. Ozone induces inflammation, which is increased blood flow. "Indicative of healing"... sounds like salemen's doublespeak but might be a conclusion of the article. "infections make positive charges, ozone can carry negative charge"... pure codswallop. Anaerobic bacteria produce regions of low / no dissolved oxygen, and of course no ozone. Diffusion handles the rest. In the process of making ozone, if the molecule does not get rid of the extra electron, it stops being ozone. It *is* a polar molecule however... Introduction of ozonated olive oil into an open tooth, carried on the file... bad idea. Almost as bad as injecting olive oil intravenously. Better to have them rinsed with ozonated water. Blowing ozone gas into the open tooth: total waste of time, and hazardous to both the patient and the professional staff in the room. Increasing the pressure impacts more stuff deeper in the tooth. Better to pull a vaccuum, or cycle with some ozonated water followed by vaccum a few times. I *like* the idea of not waiting for a chemical supplier, or waiting for the bill, or browsing for the "next big thing", and there is nothing ozone won't destroy and do it faster than competing chemicals, and there is less risk of an immune system response (allergy). But the procedures still (apparently) have to be worked out, and there is little support in literature for its use... yet. Based on kris-polanowski's experience, it may be a solution waiting for a problem. David A. Smith (neither making, selling, nor making a profit from ozone, and not a dentist.)

David Smith said "Based on kris-polanowski's experience". What were your experiences with ozone? Sounds like you tried it but gave it up? Yes, dentists get excellent results, but even the best dentist cannot get rid of all the microbia.
