Abstract

Ozone therapy is a bio-oxidative treatment based on the application of a medicinal gas mixture of oxygen and ozone. Among its therapeutic effects, it has been shown to improve metabolism and peripheral tissue oxygenation. Therefore, it is a non-invasive treatment modality and is also used to promote bone healing. Ozone naturally occurs in a gaseous form consisting of three oxygen atoms but can also be found in aqueous form. Ozone therapy can induce various effects in the human body, such as improved blood circulation and, consequently, enhanced oxygen delivery to tissues. This therapy also plays a role in increasing cellular antioxidant enzyme activity, growth factor levels, and immune system activation. Oroantral communication is a complication that can occur following the extraction of upper premolars and molars due to the proximity of the roots to the maxillary sinus. This communication allows access from the oral cavity to the sinus, altering the bacterial flora. In chronic cases, the orifice created between the mouth and sinus may undergo epithelialization, forming an oroantral fistula. Therefore, the present article aims to describe a case report on the treatment of an oroantral communication that occurred after the extraction of a third molar and a supernumerary tooth using ozone therapy.
