Ozone gas may boost bone levels around dental implants
NCT ID NCT07687641
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tests whether applying ozone gas to the implant socket before placing a dental implant helps preserve bone around the implant. Adults needing two implants in different jaw areas receive ozone at one site and standard treatment at the other. Bone levels are measured with 3D scans over six months to see if ozone improves healing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Gaseous ozone
- What this could lead to
- If ozone treatment improves bone healing around implants, it could lead to better long-term implant stability and reduced bone loss.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Ozone application is a procedure, and its benefits over standard care are not yet proven.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 to 65 years. * Systemically healthy individuals. * Ability to comply with the study procedures and follow-up visits. * Requirement for implant placement at matched contralateral posterior sites within the same jaw. * Healed edentulous sites suitable for conventional implant placement. * Adequate alveolar bone volume for placement of implants measuring 3.5-4.0 mm in diameter and 8-12 mm in length without the need for advanced bone augmentation, with at least 1.5 mm of surrounding bone. * Initial soft-tissue thickness of at least 2 mm and keratinized mucosal width of at least 2 mm at the implant sites. * Provision of written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Systemic diseases or medical conditions contraindicating implant surgery. * Pregnancy. * Smoking. * Active oral infection or advanced periodontal disease. * Insufficient bone volume requiring advanced bone augmentation. * Incomplete healing at the intended implant site following recent tooth extraction. * Previous implant failure at the intended implant site. * Any contraindication to ozone therapy.
