Yes, I’ve corresponded with Liviu about ozone and endo. It would be an ideal disinfectant when used as a gas. Someone on another forum said there was no science on ozone being applicable to endo and Liviu sent use several solid articles from respectable journals showing it would extremely effective if someone would develop a delivery system. The problem would be removing debris not in the main radicular canal but I wonder at the importance of this if you totally disinfect it.
David is also right for those of us using resin sealers. Any oxygen producing agent destroys the ability of the resin sealer to set, thus a failure. I have come to the conclusion that the resin sealers work as well as gutta and ZOE but no better than them. If there was an effective delivery system I’d probably go to ozone and use gutta percha and ZOE. I’m moving in that direction anyway.

. My canals are never without one of those disinfectants in them. Ozonenated oil would probably do the same thing but it is hard to move away from bleach.

Guy--
Not sure whatcha mean by ozonated oils being hard to ‘move away from the bleach’.
Talking about getting it out of the canals when ready to seal?
Talking about keeping the bleach out of the canals because you’ve used the oil?
Not clear where you’re going with this.
In any event, your bud Liviu Steier has sent several articles from time to time showing the resistance of some of the worst and most common offenders to bleach and CHX. Not so with ozone.
And Huth’s work has clarified the cytotoxicity issues with irrigants such as hypochlorite or CHX. Not so with ozone.
Penetration into the tubules is a heckuva lot better with ozone, especially the gas. We’re looking at the PIPS laser now, and I suspect the combination of PIPS and ozone will be the most ideal solution we’ve got for getting live bugs and—maybe even more important-- antigenic contaminants out of the hard to reach tubule structures.
Ozonated oils can be removed by organic solvents if desired. But they just disappear by themselves if left in a canal a few days before obturation. No one seems to be reporting any obturation issues when using ozonated oils.
