First seen Jun 20, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026

Summary

This completed Phase 3 trial tested whether applying gaseous ozone to the extraction site after impacted wisdom tooth surgery can reduce common complications like pain, swelling, and difficulty opening the mouth. Twenty adults with similar wisdom tooth impactions received either ozone or a sham treatment for 30 seconds. Researchers measured pain, swelling, and healing over a week, and also tracked quality of life. The goal is to see if ozone can make recovery smoother.
