dc.description.abstractAims: To comparatively evaluate the effect of normal saline gel and ozonated saline?ozonated gel (ozone therapy) on pain, inflammation, soft tissue, and crestal bone loss in dental implant surgery. Methods and Material: Forty adult patients scheduled to undergo implant were randomized into two groups: Twenty patients (n = 20) received ozone therapy and controls (n = 20) received normal saline and gel during implant placement. Inflammation and pain were noted at days 1 and 7 and 3 month intervals by estimating C?reactive protein (CRP) levels and assessing visual analogue scale (VAS) scores. At 3 months, soft tissue outcomes were noted in terms of plaque index, gingival index, and pocket depth, while crestal bone loss was noted via a radiograph. Results: Mean CRP levels were significantly higher in the control group as compared to that in the case group on day 1 and day 7 follow?ups (P < 0.05). Mean VAS scores for pain were also lower in the case group as compared to the control group at all follow?ups, but the difference was significant statistically only at day 1 (P = 0.061). The plaque index was significantly lower in the case group as compared to the control group (P = 0.011) at final follow?up. No significant difference between two groups was observed for crestal bone loss. Conclusions: Ozone therapy during implant placement was effective in reduction of pain, systemic inflammation, and plaque deposition in dental implant patients.en_US
