Sažetak
The aim was to compare clinical results achieved by treating deep caries lesions with and without ozone, when both forms of treatment are completed with a final restoration. The patients in the study were 7– 18 years old and presented with deep caries on permanent molars. Treatment for the first group (32 teeth) involved cavity preparation according to the principles of minimally invasive dentistry. This was followed by applying ozone from the KaVo HealOzone device for 40 s, and completed with a definitive restoration made with glass ionomer material. The second group (28 teeth) was also treated in the same way, but were not treated with ozone. Follow-ups were conducted after 6, 12 and 24 months. The first group whose treatment included ozone application demonstrated a 100% success rate, whilst the second group without ozone therapy demonstrated the following results: out of the total number of 28 teeth treated, 23 teeth remained vital (82%), whereas 5 teeth (18%) resulted in failure (necrosis/pulpitis). Restorations showed a high degree of success according to modified USPHS criteria (alpha 1 score: 93% for anatomic form of complete surface, 92% for marginal integrity and 97% for integrity of the restoration). There was a statistically significant difference ( 2 test, p = 0.013) in the follow-up findings in teeth whose deep caries lesions were treated with ozone therapy, and those that did not receive ozone therapy. Ozone application used along with glassionomer materials and minimally invasive procedures could be the technique of choice in treating deep caries lesions in young permanent molars.
