Abstract
Dental caries is the irreversible microbial disease of teeth causing demineralization of inorganic and destruction of organic. It is of serious concern as it can lead to pain due to various pulpal and periapical pathologies. It is a tedious job to prevent this dental caries which is very common dental problem with each and everyone. With new concepts emerging in prevention and management of caries, Ozone therapy is tool to prevent and manage dental caries. The use of ozone (O3) gas as a therapy is skeptical due to unstable structure. The main beneficial effect of ozone is its antibacterial effect against various bacteria. These antibacterial effects are even attributed to the prevention and management of caries. This therapy is of controversy as some prove this to be less or no effective or some prove to be more effective. This article reviews various benefits of ozone therapy in prevention and management of caries and also discussion on controversies to it.
