Ozone is a triatomic molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms. It is applied to oral tissues in the forms of ozonated water, ozonated olive oil, and oxygen/ozone gas. This chapter presents a brief review on the chemistry of ozone as well as its medical and dental applications, in particular in endodontics. Ozone’s antimicrobial activity, its effect on dentin bonding, toxicity, and contraindications are also reviewed.
