Sažetak
Over the time bio-oxidative and ozone therapy has undergone many stages, from autohaemotherapy, through insuffl ations, ozonized water, ozone saunas and tents, to hypodermic injections. Technologies have ranged from most primitive ozone generators, to more modern UV rays or cold plasma based. Ozone is a thermodynamically highly instable compound which, depending on system conditions such as temperature and pressure, decomposes to pure oxygen with a short half-life. There are several known effects of ozone on human body, such as antimicrobial (bactericidal, virucidal, and fungicidal), immunostimulating and biosynthetic (activation of the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids). Bio-oxidative therapy is a non- medicamentous method of therapeutic action proved to be effective in the treatment of different kind of inflammatory and degenerative diseases. The highfreqency generator Ozonyx (Biozonix, Munchen, Germany), produces a high frequency electrical fi eld (resonant frequency 30-50kHz, impuls frequency 470 - 1050Hz, trigger voltage 3-18kV, current 100 μA) on the tip of the plasma probe when it gets in contact with the human body. Ozone concentrations produced by the highfreqency generator Ozonyx for use in dental ozone therapy vary from 0 - 2, 1 mcg/s depending on the design of the plasma probe and chosen intensity), which allows a wide range of applications in different therapies. The antibacterial, anti-infl ammatory and bio- stimulative effect of biooxidative therapy may be used in the management of diffferent dental indications such as caries, root canal treatment, wound healing, gingtivitis, periodontitis, periimplantitis, viral and fungal infections. When the correct dose has been established, ozone can be used as a useful therapeutic agent. The extremely rapid antimicrobial activity is fundamental for the effective therapy. The purpose of this lecture is to present a successful clinical use of a high frequency ozone generator and bio-oxidative therapy in endo-restorative treatment.
