Ozone therapy (OT) is very popular in medicine. Especially it use for wound healing and antibacterial properties. This randomized, placebo controlled, randomized split-mouth clinical study evaluates the effects of ozone therapy on clinical and biochemical parameters. Total of 20 participants completed the study (10 males, 10 females). Periodontal parameters, including plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD), percentage of bleeding on probing, percentage of pockets deeper than 5 mm and clinical attachment level (CAL), and percentage of ≥3 mm clinical attachment level. Periodontal parameters were evaluated at baseline and 3 months following periodontal therapy. All participants were treated non-surgically. Topical gaseous ozone was applied into periodontal pockets twice a week for 2 weeks during active periodontal therapy. Gingival crevicular fluid pentraxin-3 (PTX-3), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) were evaluated.
