Application / Indications
- Root canal treatment
For disinfecting and drying the root canal; complete root canal treatment in a single session
- Pit and fissure caries
Significant successes in treating initial or frank fissure caries in practice
- Root and cervical caries
Valuable preservation of substance in areas particularly sensitive to pain
- Orthodontics
Reliable disinfection and prevention; HealOzone keeps the area completely free of germs
- Soft tissue treatment
The germ-killing power of HealOzone is also effective here: Germs and viruses don't stand a chance
Four simple steps - to success for you and caries-free teeth for your patients.
1. Cleaning
When starting treatment, we recommend that you first clean the surface of the tooth thoroughly - using KaVo PROPHYflex.
2. Measurement
To check up on the success of the treatment, measure the affected tooth
using KaVo DIAGNOdent. Choose a longer or shorter treatment of ozone on
the basis of the levels measured.
3. Treatment
Depending on the findings, use KaVo HealOzone to apply a controlled
dose of ozone to the diseased area. You can set the treatment time to
between 10 and 40 seconds.
4. Remineralisation solution
Encourages immediate remineralisation of the tooth.
Clinical studies (excerpt)
K. C. Huth, E. Paschos, K. Brand, R. Hickel: Effect of ozone on non-cavitated fissure carious lesions in permanent molars - A controlled prospective clinical study. Accepted in Am. J. Dent.
A randomised, controlled clinical study was completed to investigate the effect of gaseous ozone (applied once for 40s without using an additional remineralisation solution) on initial, non-cavitated fissure caries, taking into consideration the individual caries risk in comparison to untreated control lesions. Lesions were indirectly monitored (for progress or regression) using the DIAGNOdent laser fluorescence monitoring system. After a period of three months, there was significantly greater lesion regression or less lesion progression of the ozone-treated lesions compared to the untreated control lesions - especially in patients with a high caries risk. For the overall collective of the study, no significant difference was detected.

In caries profunda, after caries excavation in the hard cavity floors up to 102 – 103 germs were still detectable in sixty percent of cases (Kneist et al. 1989). These germs were aktinomycetes, lactobacilli and mutans-streptococci. According to preliminary results of an in-vitro study by Kneist and Glockmann (FSU Jena), HealOzone is able to eliminate the resulting germ count of aktinomycetes, lactobacilli and mutans-streptococci on the cavity floor.
