Sometimes we wish to have a Guinea Pig to test or experiment new things
before implementing them on real patients. And who is the best Guinea but
ourselves.
Months ago, I broke my upper premolar and needed RCT. I didn't have yet an
ozone system, I had only ozonated oil from Julian. I accessed the pulp
(after a second attempt, the first perforated the mesial wall), shaped and
kept the access opened on purpose so I develop a peri-apical infection. And
I did. Cleaned slightly and injected the oil, keeping the cavity opened.
Two days later, percussion was negative and no pain while eating. As you may
expect, 3 weeks later, pain on pressure resumed. Same procedure with the
oil, but this time I closed the cavity. No pain 24 hours later. It was about
time I see an endodontist to fill my roots. I explained what I did, he took
me for a lunatic at first, now he is on oils.
Now that I have an ozone generator, I routinely gas the canals.
One thing to consider, It's preferable not to use hypochlorite and O3 at the
same time.
