Eye Contamination: Avoid the use of these oils in eyes. There are no studies available to show effectiveness for eye infections or conditions. Please consult your general medical practitioner for treatment for eye infections.

Treatment Duration: For areas of infection, the treatment time is from 1-2 weeks. For the treatment of skin surface ulcers, the treatment time for small areas is 1-2 weeks, for large ulcers, from 3 to 4 months. Healing time is dependant on the age of the patient, the medical status of the patient, and the size of the lesion being treated. If in any doubt, contact Dr Julian Holmes or your own medical practitioner who you normally consult with. Further information is available from the Internet and World Wide Web on www.the-o-zone.cc.

Presentation: - Ozonated oils are pure plant extracts, through which pure oxygen and ozone are passed. The plant extracts undergo a chemical reaction to form a thick, viscous oil, or in some cases, a petroleum jelly like product called an oil-gel. The final products contain ozonoids. These ozonoids have a pharmaceutical activity similar to ozone gas, but at a reduced activity level. They are bactericidal, fungicidal, and veridical. The oils are chosen for their innate healing properties, and the ozonoids enhance this effect. They are available in a PET Bottle, or container, in 10ml, 20ml, 30ml and 40ml containers.

Various vegetable extracts are chosen for healing and usage properties; depending on the intended application, they are available as a thick oil for use in syringes, or as an oil-gel or petroleum jelly like consistency. In a dental application, for periodontal pocket applications, and for healing around implants, the oil finish is recommended. For use for ulcers and for denture sore mouth infections, for example, the oil-gel finish is recommended.

The use of these oils can be broadly divided into Medical Usage and Dental Usage.

Periodontal pockets.

We have used these oils in all our periodontal cases for the last 12 months with brilliant results. The oil gel is loaded into an Optident 1.25ml small syringe, and with a fine blue acid-etch tip, the oil gel can be delivered into a periodontal pocket with ease. For large pockets, we repeat this at 7-day intervals. On average, we can achieve complete resolution of an infected pocket in about 2 days for the smaller pockets of 3-4mm, and 7 days for the larger deeper pockets. As there is stimulation of the reparative cellular mechanisms, the appearance of the tissue is pink and healthy.

Surgical areas.

After surgery for removal of teeth, abscess drainage, third molar tooth removal, apicectomy, etc, we give our patients 20ml of ozonated oil. They are instructed to use a clean ‘q’ tip or cotton wool to apply the oils to the surgical site 3-4 times each day, for a minimum of 5 days. This treatment has now been used for the last 12 months, and we have had no adverse results. Every patient has reported decreased pain, accelerated healing, and minimal scarring after use.

Ulcers.

A number of patients have used the oils for apthous ulcers, as well as the gas being applied in the practice. Despite the taste of ozonated sunflower oil, all patients have reported a decrease in the time the ulcers heal and resolved, compared to previous treatment modalities.

Other Uses.
Denture sore mouth and athlete’s foot are very similar yeast infections. In denture sore mouth, the oil is applied to the fitting surface of the denture, and then replaced in the mouth. This is a very simple protocol for the patient to use and follow. If applied at 4 hourly intervals, the average time to eradicate the yeast infection, and see soft tissue healing is about 2 days. Also, the denture fitting surface appears to be much cleaner, due to the stain removal properties of the ozone compounds.

In acne and other dermatological conditions, the oils have been used with remarkable effects, not only keeping the areas free of potential cross contamination and opportunistic infection, but also stimulating tissue repair and healing.

Lastly, a case of intractable heel pressure sores has been treated for a retired dentist. Following a massive CVA, this patient was placed in ITU, but the nursing staff failed to take adequate steps to avoid pressure necrosis. After many weeks of conventional treatment with antibiotic creams and dressing, without any change, this patient found out about ozone oils. The ozone oil was applied twice daily, and after 2 months, 75% tissue regeneration and healing had been achieved, reducing one lesion from 10cm, to 3cm in just 2 months.

The huge advantage these ozone technologies have over traditional anti-microbial agents is that as the anti-microbial effect is so fast, there is no time for the microbial populations to establish a resistance to them. In effect, this is the perfect antibiotic! Essentially, if you consider any infective process as a bio-film problem, ozonated oil has a potential part to play in its eradication, and also in the healing process of the surrounding tissue.

Medical Usage of Ozonated Oils

Medical Usage - Introduction: These products are shipped world-wide. The oils have been used for surgical healing work. Several medical practitioners are using it for skin and nail-bed infections, all with positive results. In severe ulceration cases that 'modern pharmacology' has not been able to resolve, ozonated oils have allowed full ulcer granulation and closure within 3 months, with resolution of pain and discomfort. Several football clubs use these oils after on-pitch wounds. The ozonated oil prevents infection, resolves pain within about 30 minutes, and promotes accelerated healing.

Skin Surface Abrasions and Cuts: Clean the affected skin surface with cooled boiled or sterile water. It is important if possible to remove all foreign bodies from the skin surface, such as gravel, small stones, sand, and dirt. Dry and apply a thin layer of the ozonated oil over the affected skin surface. The patient should be instructed to re-apply every 3-4 hours after re-cleaning the affected surface. There is no need to cover unless protection from further trauma is required, or work place health and safety regulations require wound coverage.

Skin Ulceration: Clean the ulcer site and surrounding area with cooled boiled or sterile water. Dry to a damp surface if possible and apply a thin layer of the ozonated oil over the ulcer site and surrounding skin edge. The patient should be instructed to re-apply every 3-4 hours after re-cleaning the affected area. There is no need to cover unless protection from further trauma is required, or work place health and safety regulations require wound coverage.

Nail Infections: Clean the nail and surrounding finger/toe skin surface with cooled boiled or sterile water. Dry and apply a thin layer of the ozonated oil over the nail and surrounding skin surface. If possible, work the oil/oil-gel below the nail and into the creases on either side of the nail. The patient should be instructed to re-apply every 3-4 hours after re-cleaning the affected area.

Ozone gas delivered from a clinical Ozone device is the only ozone product that should be used in these cases. For further comment and information, see www.the-o-zone.cc or contact Dr Julian Holmes.

Gum Tissue Infections:

Dry Socket: Dry socket is a superficial bone and soft tissue infection, usually following the removal of a tooth or teeth (especially 8’s) but this can occur in any site in the mouth after surgery. It is painful, and can take a long period of time to settle and heal with routine antibiotics.
To treat with ozone oils, clean the affected area with cooled boiled or sterile water or hydrogen peroxide mouth rinse. A small syringe with a blunt end, for example the Ultradent 1.2ml syringe with a fine acid etchant delivery tip, is filled with ozonated oil. The syringe tip is introduced into the dry socket to its full depth if possible, and the oil is expelled into the socket as the syringe tip is withdrawn. The patient should be sent home with a supply of the oil, syringes, delivery tips, and instructions, and instructed in oral hygiene care, and the case reassessed at regular time intervals.

Periapical Sinus: After the nerve tissue is irreparably damaged by trauma or caries, it will die. If this goes undetected, an area of infection at the tip of the root will develop. The drainage pathway is towards the buccal plates and sulcus. Treatment should be combined with RCT (Root Canal Therapy).
During RCT, the sinus can be irrigated with ozonated oils. A small syringe with a blunt end, for example the Ultradent 1.2ml syringe with a fine acid etchant delivery tip, is filled with ozonated oil. The syringe tip is introduced into the sinus to its full depth, and the oil is expelled into the sinus as the syringe tip is withdrawn. The case should be reassessed at regular time intervals.

Mouth & Tongue Ulceration: Clean the affected skin surface with cooled boiled or sterile water or hydrogen peroxide mouth rinse. Apply a thin layer of the ozonated oil over the ulcer site and surrounding skin edge. The patient should be instructed to re-apply every 3-4 hours after re-cleaning the affected area.

Aphthous Ulcers: Either ozone gas from the HealOzone unit can be delivered onto the ulcer surface, or ozonised oils can be placed onto the ulcer surface directly. Clean the affected skin surface with cooled boiled or sterile water or hydrogen peroxide mouth rinse. Apply a thin layer of the ozonated oil over the affected skin surface. The patient should be instructed to re-apply every 3-4 hours after re-cleaning the affected surface.

Superficial Burns: Clean the affected skin surface with cooled boiled or sterile water or hydrogen peroxide mouth rinse. Apply a thin layer of the ozonated oil over the affected skin surface. Seek medical help urgently. The patient should be instructed to re-apply every 3-4 hours after re-cleaning the affected surface.

Periodontal Pockets: These oils should be used in conjunction with thorough scale and debris prophylaxis. They are NOT an alternative to routine professional oral hygiene care. All periodontal pockets should be charted and measurements noted. Points of bleeding and pocket depth should be recorded. After professional prophylaxis, a small syringe with a blunt end, for example the Ultradent 1.2ml syringe with a fine acid etchant delivery tip, is filled with ozonated oil.
The syringe tip is introduced into the periodontal pocket to its full depth, and the oil is expelled into the pocket as the syringe tip is withdrawn. At no time should the oil be injected into the soft tissue. The aim is to fill the pocket with the ozone oil or gel as an adjunct to debris removal. The patient should be instructed in oral hygiene care, and the case reassessed at regular time intervals. Ozonated oil can be re-applied at 1 week intervals in all cases, or in severe cases, more frequently.

Root Canal Therapy: Ozone and ozonised oils can be used during root canal therapy to clean and sterilise the canal systems. Once access has been created, and the canal system opened, ozone gas delivered by the HealOzone unit is used to sterilise the canal system. 120 – 240 seconds of ozone should be used. If RCT is being staged over more than one visit, a small syringe with a blunt end, for example the Ultradent 1.2ml syringe with a fine acid etchant delivery tip, is filled with ozonated oil.
The syringe tip is introduced into each canal and the oil is expelled into the canal as the syringe tip is withdrawn. The access is then sealed. At recall, no more than 5-7 days after the previous appointment, the canals are opened, re-cleaned and if suitable, filled.

Surgery Sites / Surgical Suture Lines: Clean the suture line with cooled boiled or sterile water, or hydrogen peroxide solution. Apply a thin layer of the ozonated oil over the affected skin surface with a suitable instrument, such as a ‘Micro-Brush’. The patient should be instructed to re-apply every 3-4 hours after re-cleaning the affected surface. There is no need to cover, such as with a perio-pack, unless protection from further trauma is required.

Tooth Whitening: Research in Cuba and Russia identified ozonised oils as a tooth whitening gel. The research presented was for previously root canal treated teeth, and there are no studies on vital teeth. The coronal access is opened, root filling material removed to the EDJ, and the coronal cavity filled with ozone oil. In the published studies, sunflower oil-base was used. The oil is changed every 5 days, and a whitening effect was noticed at 2 weeks. Apart from these studies, no other studies have been found using the ozonised oils. No mention was made on what inter-treatment cavity closing material was used, or the final restorative material.

Implant Patients: Ozonated oils can be used to clean around the new implant sites, as well as existing implants. It is especially useful around bars and complex connectors, such as multi-unit bars, crown and bridge work, and around magnets. Where ever there is an opportunity for gun irritation and bacterial inflammation to lead to a potential problem, the oil can help control and eliminate it.
At-Home Use: Patients should be instructed on how to use inter-dental brushes, and Christmas tree brushes. The brush is dipped into the oil, and then the brush is taken between each abutment surface, around each implant abutment, or each gingival cuff.
This treatment protocol only needs to be repeated once a day. All oils and oil-gels should be stored cool.
