The use of ultrasound and ozone therapy in the complex treatment of periodontitis

Abstract

Physiotherapy makes it possible to effectively influence all the links in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. The use of ultrasound plays a special role in the treatment of periodontal diseases. With the help of ultrasonic vibrations, drugs (ultraphonophoresis) can be introduced into the tissue. For its implementation, water and oil solutions of medicinal substances are used. In periodontal practice, ultrasound is most often used to remove dental plaque. It is of scientific interest to use low-frequency ultrasound in combination or in combination with physical factors that have a pronounced antibacterial effect, such as ozone . High oxidizing properties of ozone provide its therapeutic effect, manifested in disinfecting, metabolic, immunomodulating and deodorizing effects. When conducting local ozone therapy in the oral cavity, it is necessary to accurately dose the concentration of ozone, therefore, in our opinion, the use of ozonized solutions and oils in dentists is safer and more promising. The combined and combined effects in the treatment of periodontitis of low-frequency ultrasound and ozone therapy, in the production of ozone using short ultraviolet radiation, will provide a comprehensive therapeutic effect, which consists in suppressing the vital activity of pathogenic microorganisms and stimulating metabolic processes in the tissues of the macroorganism.
