Abstract: Introduction: periodontopathies are frequent in the world population and Cuba does not escape from this situation. In the search for more effective treatments, ozone therapy is a therapeutic alternative. Objective: to determine the efficacy of oleozon in the treatment of periodontal disease in diabetic patients. Methods: quasi-experimental study of therapeutic intervention in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and periodontal disease who attended Periodontics consultation at the "Hermanos Saiz" Stomatological Clinic of San Juan y Martínez, Pinar del Río in the period November 2023-April 2024. Universe: 125 patients. By means of intentional sampling by expert criteria, the sample was 96 patients, divided into 2 homogeneous groups: group I (oleozon) and group II (aqueous chlorhexidine 0.2 %). The Russell Periodontal Index, a revised WHO form to determine prevalence and severity of periodontal disease, was applied. The results were expressed in absolute and percentage frequencies and the non-parametric Chi-square test. Results: Male patients and the 50-60 years age group predominated with higher numbers of advanced periodontitis in both groups before and after treatment. Bleeding on probing was eliminated 21 days after treatment in both groups. Most of the patients were cured after 21 days and the treatment applied was successful in both treatment groups. Conclusions: Oleozon is an effective drug in the treatment of chronic inflammatory periodontal diseases in diabetic patients
