      <abstract>
        <p>Ozone refers to a tri-atomic oxygen molecule and is present in stratosphere abundantly. Ozone is known to have multiple medical and dental properties. Use of ozone therapy in the field of dentistry dates back to 1930s where wound healing and disinfection were its initial use. Later, owing to its properties its use expanded to treatment of various oral disorders. Ozone treatment has been more effective than conventional therapies that follow a less invasive and conservative approach to dental treatment. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about applications of ozone in dentistry. Ozone treatment has so far been used for wound healing, tooth decay, oral lichen planus, gingivitis, periodontitis, halitosis, osteonecrosis of the jaw, postoperative pain, plaque and biofilms, dentin hypersensitivity, temporomandibular joint disorders, among several others. Ozone has been successfully transformed the oral and dental treatment. Ozone therapy is a very effective treatment with no side effects or pain. It also reduces the patient__ampersandsign#39;s anxiety and level of stress as it reduces the duration of treatment. Ozone provides a painless alternative to the common treatment of tooth decay and has been proven to stop root decay, pits and fissure and relieve ulcers clinically. Its anti-microbial action against endodontic flora is quite promising, however more clinical research and trials in future can be beneficial.&#13;
