Özet

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate antibacterial effectiveness of 30 second ozone therapy applied via OzonyTronX, Clearfil Protect Bond (a MDPB containing bonding agent) and Dycal (Ca(OH)2 containing cavity lining material) on Streptococcus mutans in deciduos teeth. Materials and Methods: 40 primary molars were obtained from ten patients whose ages ranged between 5 and 11. Dentin samples which were collected before the treatment and after a period of four weeks following the implementation of materials were microbiologically evaluated and material’s antibacterial effectiveness were compared. Results: Differences between the antibacterial effectiveness of the materials were found to be statistically significant according to the results of covariance analysis with randomized block design (p<0.05). Antibacterial effectiveness of the groups on S. mutants is Group 2 (ozone therapy)> Group 3(CPB)> Group 1(Dycal).
