Abstract

Background: This study aims to assess the antioxidant capacity of Blue®m mouthrinse and ozonated water, and their impact on dental implant osseointegration. Materials and Methods: The current study is a split-mouth study. Ten individuals with two or more edentulous sites, aged 25–55, were divided into two groups at random. Group A: Ozonated water was used to irrigate the osteotomy site. Group B: Blue®m mouthrinse was used to irrigate the osteotomy site. The stability of the implant was evaluated using a resonance frequency analysis device. To evaluate bone formation, cone-beam computed tomography was used. The peri-implant gingival blood flow was measured using ultrasound Doppler flowmetry at baseline and 10 days. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were measured both at baseline and 3 months. Results: The results of the current trial showed that bone formation, implant stability, vascularity, Doppler velocity rate, and levels of SOD improved in both the groups but significantly increased in Group A that are treated with ozone (O3 ) therapy. Conclusion: All the implants osseointegrated without any uneventful healing. Within the limited sample size, O3 therapy favors osseointegration and increased implant stability, anti-oxidant capacity, and gingival blood flow. When the two groups were compared, the O3 therapy showed superior results.
