Ozone Therapy
Ozone is formed when fumes from automobiles, factories and other fossil fuels react with sunlight. It is linked to respiratory problems including emphysema and bronchitis. In the summer, the combination of high temperatures and high ozone levels can be deadly, more so than high temperatures alone. Occupational and Environmental Medicine 2007.

Avascular osteonecrosis of the jaw may occur as a consequence of several
conditions, even including chemotherapy treatment in patients affected by tumors
or osteoporosis. We report our clinical experience in treating bisphosphonate-induced
osteonecrosis of the jaw with a therapeutic methodology that includes ozone
therapy as a new and original approach for the clinical management of maxillary
necrotic lesions. Of 58 patients with osteonecrosis of the jaw observed at our
department, 33 gave their informed consent to be part of the research and were
treated according to a therapeutic approach, which included noninvasive surgery
associated with pre- and postsurgical cycles of ozone therapy consisting of
eight sessions lasting 3 minutes each besides antibiotic and antifungal
therapies. Outcomes showed how ozone therapy increases the benefits of surgical
and pharmacologic treatments, increasing the complete healing of the lesions
with the disappearance of symptoms and brings cases of lesion progression down
to zero. In conclusion, ozone therapy is a reliable presidium in treatment of
osteonecrosis of the jaw; its benefits are remarkable and improve significantly
the outcomes of the surgical approach.
