The paper aims to study the impact of ozone (O3) treatment on the microstructural changes of the tooth enamel after the treatment at different time intervals. The ozonation was performed with gaseous O3 produced by HealOzone X4, the demineralization level was measured with the DiagnoDent Pen 2190 device, and the microstructure changes of enamel surface were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The results showed the exposure to O3 for 40-50 seconds enhanced enamel micro-hardness and ensures a rate of remineralization between 96.82-97.38%. In conclusion, in search of new minimally invasive solutions in the treatment of caries and to offer antimicrobial support of the oral cavity, the use of O3 as an alternative therapy to classical solutions may be a viable solution in dentistry.
本文旨在研究不同时间间隔臭氧（O3）处理后对牙釉质微观结构变化的影响。臭氧处理使用 HealOzone X4 产生的气态 O3 进行，脱矿水平用 DiagnoDent Pen 2190 设备测量，使用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）分析观察牙釉质表面的微观结构变化。结果表明，暴露于 O3 40-50 秒可增强牙釉质的显微硬度，并确保再矿化率在 96.82-97.38%之间。总之，为了寻找治疗龋齿的微创新方法，并为口腔提供抗菌支持，臭氧作为传统解决方案的替代疗法，在牙科领域可能是一种可行的解决方案。
