Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and peridontal health

This study has tested the effects of hyperbaric oxygen in periodontal structures in agreement with the theories supported by literature research. Eight patients, from 30 to 50 years-of-age, were tested with pure oxygen inhalation, at the 2.5 ATA absolute pressure. Main approved tests of periodontal health were evaluated before and after HBOT’s cycles. The results in all patients treated with HBOT, have founded clear improvement of clinical and instrumental parameters.
