The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of ozone therapy on wound healing after gingivectomy and gingivoplasty surgery in the secondary wound healing model. Method and Requirements: The study included 23 systematically healthy people (12 women, 11 men). Gingivectomy and gingivoplasty were performed. One person was treated with ozone and the contralateral side was regarded as the control side in all patients. After postoperative 3 days, a plate paint agent was applied and standard photos were taken. The photographs were evaluated in a digital image program and the wound areas were measured in millimeters of square. The pain after surgery was evaluated by a visual analog scale. Patients were called on the 3rd, 7th and 14th days after the surgery. Results: The test parties showed lower painted surface areas than the control parties in postoperative 3, 7 and 14 days. VAS scale results showed significant differences in pain and discomfort between the groups. Patients significantly fewer pain in the postoperative 3rd day, but there was no significant difference in the postoperative 7th and 14th days. IN THE LIMITED OF THIS STUDY, ozone therapy, gingivectomy and gingivoplasty have improved the process of wound healing after surgery and provided the reduction of pain in the postoperative period.
