Abstrakt

Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen in the form of triatomic molecules (O3). Recently, ozone and ozone therapy have become an object of ever increasing interest in the sphere of medicine and dentistry. In the paper the mechanisms of action, ozone’s influence on human organism and the role in medicine are discussed.
