Among unending wonders getting added to dentistry, HealOzone is a sigh of relief for dental clinicians while dealing with patients having phobias to anaesthesia and drilling process.

Is it good news for the patients with a sweet tooth? Yes, it is!

Ozone is a breakthrough as it is an excellent disinfectant which is fast and reliable. It can be applied in several dental procedures as it is capable of penetrating deep to kill bacteria, viruses and fungi.

HealOzone Explained: The Future of Pain-Free Dentistry is Here

HealOzone is a name given to a device that emits ozone prepared from oxygen taken from the air. Ozone is channeled from the instrument through a handpiece which is then targeted on the required tooth surface.

Dental caries is a localised but progressive demineralization process which is irreversible. Instead of drilling out the demineralized part, this device kills the bacteria present in the decayed part of the tooth structure.

Exposure to the ozone for as less as 10-20 seconds can kill more than 99 percent of the bacteria there in that portion. HealOzone not only kills bacteria but also eliminates the chances of caries in the future. Best indicated for pits, fissures, root caries, and endodontic treatment. Any remineralizing substance could be added to the part after exposure to ozone.

Decayed portion needs to be restored if the decay is significant, although small pits or fissures could be left without a restoration. Whether a restoration is required or the size of the restoration has to be understood by the clinician as per the condition of the tooth. Excavation of the cavity is required only if it seems unavoidable as it is already efficiently disinfected.

In the root canal treatment process, HealOzone ensures the elimination of any chances of retained bacteria in fine canals and its finer branches if any. Hereby it also contributes to increasing the success rate of endodontic treatment and clinicians can obturate the root canal same day.

Benefits of Healozone:

• Absolutely pain-free process
• Time consumption is only 20 to 30 seconds
• No anaesthesia required
• Early detection of caries
• Secures success in RCT
• Hassle-free for dentist as well as patient
• Bactericidal, Virucidal and fungicidal
• Effective and economical

This innovation is famous among patients who are anxious to drilling dental procedures. It is also a preferable way for it being a painless process. Early diagnosis or early detection of caries is the key element in achieving best results of HealOzone. It has added a new dimension while dealing with cariology and endodontology.

It was a historical fact that patients were fearful of the so-called dental drill that they preferred getting the tooth extracted over a restoration. Gone are those days, as today what is practiced is conservative dentistry which does not let the practitioner lose the tooth easily.

What else could one ask for?

Poet Ogden Nash describes in one of his poems ‘This is going to hurt just a little bit’, how excruciating a visit to the dentist could be and one visit leads to the other forming a vicious circle. Such wonders like HealOzone might dissolve the famous ‘vicious circle’ attached to the profession of dentistry.

What would HealOzone say if it could talk: ‘Stay safe, subtle and sophisticated – Just like me!’
