Ozonated water is recognized to have an antiseptic, powerful oxidative and strong antimicrobial property towards bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa. Endodontics is mainly concerned about thorough root canal disinfection. Ozone is available in aqueous gaseous as well as ozonated oil. This paper gives brief review on the history, chemistry as well as its endodontic application as an endodontic disinfectant. Antimicrobial efficacy, effect on dentin bonding and contra indication of ozone is also covered in this article.
