INTRODUCTION. In recent years, important progress has be en made in the knowledge of periodontal disease, from a multifactorial etiology, the responsable microbiology, the local inmunological response as also multiple aspects related to its epidemiology, etiology and its evolution. Given a greater knowledge in thsese fields new techniques (pharmacological products and apparatus) are being developed to treat and detain the periodontal disease and preserve dental health. OBJECTIVES. Analyse the periodontal response from a clinical, microbiological and immunological point of view of a population with moderate-severe periodontal pockets and its comparison with the scraping and smoothing periodontal technique. METHOD AND MATlRIAL. A total of 72 cuadrants with at least more than four teeth in each cuadrant and more than 6mm.pocket depth probe were studied in a population of 43 average age. Toestablish comparison between both groups a cross mouth study has been done, in which half were treated with ozone and the rest with scraping technique. The variable results were evaluated: clinical, microbiological and immunological response with descriptive estadistic analysis and ANOVA. CONCLUSION: We can say that the periodontal treatment with ozone produces estadisticaly significant reduction in the amount of index gingival bleeding, in the microbiological periodontal parameters as also in the immunological patterns of IL1b y TNF-alfa, however there is no variation in relation to the level periodon tal insertion and the depth of the periodontal pocket that requires a periodontal technique of scraping.
