Ozone therapy may help gums heal faster after surgery
NCT ID NCT06753305
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether applying ozone therapy (active oxygen) to the gums after gum surgery can help them heal better and reduce pain. 48 adults with gum overgrowth will be randomly assigned to get either standard gum paste or gum paste plus ozone therapy. The researchers will check healing, inflammation, and quality of life one month after surgery.
