The Magic of Oxygen-Ozone Therapies: A Powerful Ally for Oral-Systemic Healing
Saturday, April 25
10:45 AM - 12:15 PM
1.5 CDE Credits – DDS, DH
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Are you tired of treating the same bleeding gums, recurrent decay, sensitive teeth and bone loss with limited long-term results? It’s time to break free from the traditional toolbox and embrace a therapy that works with the body – not against it. Oxygen-ozone therapy remains one of dentistry’s best-kept secrets. In this dynamic course, you’ll discover how ozone’s triatomic power safely and effectively kills pathogens, halts caries progression, desensitizes teeth and supercharges healing by stimulating the immune system – all without staining or side effects. Learn how this natural, regenerative therapy harnesses the life-giving energy out of oxygen to promote long-lasting oral and systemic health.
Course Objectives:
1. Describe the science behind oxygen-ozone therapy and how it supports biological healing in the oral cavity and beyond.
2. Explain the antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of ozone in dental and hygiene procedures.
3. Identify clinical applications of ozone therapy for managing caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, dentinal hypersensitivity and surgical healing.
4. Understand safety protocols, deliver systems and contraindications for incorporating ozone into dental hygiene practice.
5. Integrate ozone therapy into preventive and therapeutic protocols as part of a whole-body, biologically-oriented dental practice.
