Abstract

Ozone therapy has been explored in Dentistry and Medicine as an auxiliary therapeutic means in the treatment of several chronic and acute diseases. In 2015, the Federal Council of Dentistry, which supports and qualifies dental practices, recognized and regulated the practice of Ozone Therapy in dental treatments through Resolution 166/2015. In view of this, the extension project “O3 Project: Ozone therapy applied to Dentistry” implemented the use of ozone- based therapies in different specialties carried out at the Federal University of Ceará - Sobral Campus, in addition to being a pioneer in research in this area in the state. from Ceará. The objective of this work is to report the lived experience of a dental student in this project, highlighting his contribution to the technical- scientific development, comparing the results obtained with the basis found in the literature on the important impacts that the extensionist experience causes in the academic training of a student. In addition, to report the clinical effects of Ozone Therapy perceived during the practical activities carried out. Despite the experience having been carried out in a period of readjustment of schedules due to the pandemic, the student had the opportunity to follow the project in different actions in teaching, research and extension. In teaching, the student had the opportunity to participate in lectures and training in the area, as well as participate as a presenter of works in scientific events. In the research, he accompanied two studies that are still in progress and contributed to the bibliographical survey for the production of a manual that is being made by the project. In the extension, she had the opportunity to follow up and perform some cases in the area of surgery, periodontics, endodontics and TMD / orofacial pain. The results of clinical care have been positive, with effects on the improvement of inflammation, analgesic action, decrease in the number of microorganisms in different conditions, improvement in tissue healing, among others. It is concluded that participating in the project increased their knowledge in innovative areas of Dentistry, contributing a lot to their academic training. In addition, the student's participation in the O3 Project allowed him to develop important skills such as teamwork, communication, leadership and problem solving, therefore, participation in projects such as this is a valuable opportunity for a student's professional and personal growth.
