ozone application hardens early-stage root surface lesions in under 3 months
Non-cavitated primary root carious lesions (<0.5 mm) were significantly more likely to become hard after ozone treatment at 1, 3, 6, and 9 months compared to cavitated lesions (p < 0.05), with 43.5% of non-cavitated lesions hardening by 3 months.
What this means for you
Early surface softening on teeth — the kind that hasn't yet become a visible cavity — responded well to ozone exposure, with nearly half of those spots firming back up within 3 months. This suggests ozone may support the mouth's natural remineralization process before damage progresses. For anyone focused on long-term dental wellness, catching and reversing early softening is exactly the window that matters.
