Use of Ozone Gel in Various Fields Including Atopic Dermatitis and Its Future Application in Dentistry
Background and Purpose:
In our country, it is estimated that approximately one in two people suffers from some form of allergy, with atopic dermatitis affecting about 10% of the population. Research into allergic diseases is gradually progressing, yet there are no complete preventive or curative treatments available. Current treatment primarily involves long-term symptomatic therapy through environmental management and pharmacotherapy with anti-inflammatory drugs. 1) Furthermore, it is also observed in the dentistry field with three-quarters of the population being said to be suffering from periodontal disease . The misuse of antibiotics, leading to multidrug-resistant bacteria, poses a significant social issue, and there are many cases where long-term antibiotic use is not feasible, especially in oral care. Both atopic dermatitis and periodontal disease are inflammatory diseases, and the long-term application of steroids as anti-inflammatory drugs has been problematic due to side effects like steroid-induced rosacea.
