Efficacy of 400IP Ozonated Oil in the Healing of the Post-Extraction Socket of Erupted Third Molars

Abstract

Background: The extraction of third molars is currently a widely performed treatment for patients attending dental clinics. Post-extraction healing is an aspect that researchers have sought to accelerate using various previously studied agents. This research work is justified by seeking scientific validation for the use of ozone therapy in the post-surgical treatment of third molars to promote the healing of the oral mucosa.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of applying 400ip ozonated oil as an adjuvant in healing and pain management after third molar extraction.

Methods: This is a mixed-methods study with an exploratory scope; the research is applied to phenomena that have not been extensively investigated, with an interest in examining their characteristics. An experimental design was used, involving two groups: a control group and an experimental group.

Results: The use of ozonated oil demonstrated a faster and more complete closure of the socket compared to natural healing, making it a potential agent to be used as a post-surgical adjuvant.

Conclusions: The evaluation of the efficacy of applying 400ip ozonated oil as an adjuvant in healing and pain management after third molar extraction has yielded promising results. The findings suggest that the use of this treatment can have a positive impact on the healing rate of the post-surgical socket.
