Resumen
Background: Ozone is a molecule that plays an important role in dentistry, specially for wound healing. The aim of the present study was to clinically and
immunologically evaluate the effect of ozonated oil on the healing of palatal
wounds.
Methods: This is a prospective, longitudinal, triple-blind, randomized, placebocontrolled clinical trial. The groups were divided as follows: Test group (n = 14):
after removal of the free gingival graft (FGG), the palatal wound was treated
with ozonized seed sunflower oil with a peroxide index between 510 and 625 meq
O2/kg; Control group (n = 14): after removal of the FGG, the palatal wound was
treated with non-ozonated sunflower oil (placebo). The treatments were applied
three times a day, for 7 days.
Results: There were no significant differences in the measurements of wound
area (mm2) between the test and control groups in the different periods evaluated (0, 3, 7, and 14 days; p > 0.05). The intra-group analysis showed a significant
decrease in wound size over the course of days (0, 3, 7, and 14 days; p < 0.05). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF; pg/mL) presented a significant reduction
at 7 days (p < 0.05) compared to day 3 in the test group (p < 0.05). There was a statistical difference for malondialdehyde (MDA; pg/mL) in the test group between
3 and 7 days post-treatment (p < 0.05) and between test and control groups on
the 7th day (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The application of highly ozonated sunflower oil did not improve
the remaining scar area of the palate, decreasing the VEGF and increasing the
oxidative stress marker MDA. 2028
