简要总结
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical and microbiological effectiveness of the ozone application in stepwise excavation of primary molars.
Methods: This study was conducted in vivo conditions with 105 lower primary second molars that had deep caries lesions with the risk of pulpal exposure. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups: Conventional stepwise excavation without any disinfectant, 2% chlorhexidine digluconate(CHX) and ozone application. In four different stages (after; initial excavation, ozone/CHX application, four months, final excavation), dentine samples were collected for microbiological analysis of mutans streptococci, lactobacilli and total number of colony forming units. Clinical changes as dentine colour, humidity, consistency were recorded. The data were analysed by Mann-Whitney U, Friedman and chi-square test.
详细描述
Informed consent including possible risks, discomforts and benefits about the procedure were obtained from all parents of the young patients.
The required sample size for this study was 35 in each subgroup (82 percent power, two-sided five percent significance level) for the detection of a significant difference. This study was conducted on 105 patients aged 6 to 10 years (59 girls, 46 boys) who attended the Pediatric Dentistry Department. None of the patients included in the study were medically compromised. Each patient had one mandibular second primary molar with deep carious lesion and pulp perforation risk. All teeth with deep carious lesions were examined clinically and radiographically.
The following inclusion criteria were used;
- Active carious lesion in deep dentine of primary second molars,
- Absence of clinical symptoms of irreversible pulpitis such as spontaneous pain or longtime pain against thermal and chemical stimuli,
- Absence of sensitivity to percussion or palpation, pathological mobility, swelling or fistula any discoloration except for carious lesion.
- Absence of any interradicular lesions, periapical radiolucency, pathological resorptions and pulpal calcifications.
A randomized, controlled, clinical trial was designed in a sample of 105 primary molars (35 teeth in each group) as three treatment groups: Step-wise excavation without any disinfectant (control group), step-wise excavation with CHX application (positive control group), and step-wise excavation with gaseous ozone application (experimental group).

研究组 & 干预措施
control
Thirty five molar teeth with deep caries lesion were selected to apply conventional two-visit indirect pulp therapy (control). The peripheral demineralized dentin and the superficial necrotic dentin were completely removed, and left some caries at the central part. The remaining caries dentin was covered with calcium hydroxide base material and cavity sealed with glass ionomer cement.
干预措施: Control (Other)
chlorhexidine digluconate
Thirty five molar teeth with deep caries lesion were selected to apply two-visit indirect pulp therapy with chlorhexidine digluconate. The peripheral demineralized dentin and the superficial necrotic dentin were completely removed, and left some caries at the central part. Following the excavation, 2% chlorhexidine digluconate was applied to the cavity for 60 seconds using a brush. According to the manufacturer instructions, puddled solution was removed with a new brush without dry to leave site moist. The remaining caries dentin was covered with calcium hydroxide base material and cavity sealed with glass ionomer cement.
干预措施: chlorhexidine digluconate (Other)
ozone
Thirty five molar teeth with deep caries lesion were selected to apply two-visit indirect pulp therapy with ozone. The peripheral demineralized dentin and the superficial necrotic dentin were completely removed, and left some caries at the central part. The cavity was exposed to gaseous ozone for 60 seconds, with an ozone delivery system. The remaining caries dentin was covered with calcium hydroxide base material and cavity sealed with glass ionomer cement to reopen 4 months later.
