Abstract: 

The purpose of this content was to verify the literature available in the PUBMED, ABOZ and SciELO databases on the efficacy and biological effects of periodontal and dental implant ozone treatment. Ozone has unique properties that provide a wide application to biological systems and clinical treatments. In dentistry, it can be indicated for the treatment of initial carious lesions, root canal irrigation, periodontal pocket irrigation and to improve epithelial healing in ulcers and herpetic lesions. Such a substance may be applied in gaseous, aqueous and oily forms. Despite its convincing efficacy, further study is needed to make a definitive conclusion about its applicability and protocols of use.
