Ozon tegen gevoelige tanden:
Quote:
Where the enamel has been removed or lost by what ever process, the dentine tubules are exposed, and sensitivity becomes an issue.
Quote:
With ozone treatment, the approach is to seal the deep tissues of the dentine, as well as turn off the painful nerve stimulii, and allow a remineralisation process to obliterate the tubular structure. In essence, this remineralisation process is exactly the same process when ozone is used to treat areas of demineralised dentine or enamel.

Ozone has also been shown by Profession V Bocci, Italy, to control the alpha nerve fibres - those that send painful stimulii to the brain.
Quote:
Apply ozone to the area for 60 seconds to begin with. Keep the delivery tip over the lesion.
Quote:
After the first ozone treatment of 60 sconds, apply a mineral wash to the lesion. Use a micro-brush to gently 'rub' the mineral wash into the lesion.
Repeat the mineral wash application, making sure the whole lesion and the adjacent dentine & enamel has been treated.

In a recent study by J Holmes (Clinical Reversal of Primary Occlusal Fissure Carious Lesions (POFCLs) Using Ozone in General Dental Practice, 2002), ozone was used as a novel way of controlling and reversing decay. Some of the patients in this study had dentine sensitivity, and these areas were exposed to ozone for 20 seconds. In many of these patients (26 patients had sensitivity issues in this study) the sensitivity had resolved (22 patients had sensitivity relief after ozone treatment) within a short time (from 30 seconds, to 24 hours). As this aspect of dental care was not within the study criteria, no control lesions were set-up to monitor and the evidence is anecdotal only. But this is supported by other cases at UKSmiles, and by other members of the HeaIOzone Pathfinder Group.

Dr Daley comments, “On a number of patients with very sensitive teeth the ozone treatment has had immediate effects (within a day). There have also been a few cases where it has not been successful. This has been more noticeable on teeth which have been root filled."
Quote:
[...] we believe ozone works as follows; Let’s use, for example a buccal sensitive area. It is exposed to ozone and the protein barrier is destroyed. Once the protein barrier is removed, minerals in the form of phosphates and calcium ions can enter the opened channels. The process of mineral deposition, or remineralisation in the dentinal tubules occurs immediately after ozone treatment. So for many patients, the relief of sensitivity is almost instant. As an added bonus, treatment of the lesion with ozone leads to bacterial elimination, and the break down of their metabolites; now re-mineralisation occurs faster that re-establishment of the aciduric niche, so the whole balance of de- and re-mineralisation in tipped in favour of re-mineralisation. There is no reason why this should not be the case for the success of ozone treatment for cracked tooth syndrome too.”

Quote:
Bocci uses ozone to control pain, and in cases where teeth are fractured or cracked, where directly exposed nerve tissue exists, ozone can be used to control pain, bleeding and the degree of wettness to allow direct resin capping prior to restoration.
