There is a medical device, designed and manufactured in California, that generates O3 in such a way that a single tooth can be isolated and bathed in O3. The result is bacteria death within any tooth crack or cavity. Following that the calcium in our saliva naturally fills in any bacteria free cracks and cavities. This functioning, successful medical device is a "hit" everywhere on earth except the United States because the FDA declared O3 to be a toxic gas with "no known medical properties" and ban its use... I know one of the engineer developers that designed it, and he's wealthy from it. He says the US is fucked beyond repair...

If you could prove that with a peer-reviewed paper, you'll revolutionize dentistry in the US, that's for sure. In other countries boner pills made from rhino tusks are a "hit" but that doesn't mean the FDA is corrupt for banning them as clinical treatment here.
You can still market O3 therapy as what it is, "alternative medicine." Just not clinical treatment.
Its nonsense. Ozone therapy is a form of alternative medicine quackery that uses ozone generators and the FDA has cracked down on it because there's no evidence it works and the O3 gas is toxic. It is not banned by the FDA but marketing it as a clinical treatment is. In this sense all molecules that aren't approved drugs are "banned" by the FDA.
If it worked, the FDA would approve it as a Class III (high risk) medical device so my guess is that the OP's friend's company either doesn't have a working product or they just don't want to put in the work to get it approved (Class III devices are the most expensive to get through the FDA).
They're making "too much money" in the rest of the world, where most people are broke or covered by nationalized healthcare and price controls, to get their product approved in the most profitable medical device market in the world? Again, nonsense. If that were the case, pharmaceutical and biotech companies would be lining up to license the technology and to take care of regulatory approval and compliance, even if it wasn't covered by patents.
Your buddy is exploiting vulnerable consumers in less regulated markets to sell snake oil. I wonder how many people will suffer immense pain or pick up a life threatening infection because they were convinced by conartists that oxygen was a viable alternative to proper dental care and treatment.
Searching this stuff is like I'm looking for aliens - lots and lots of fake/fraud sites....
I see variations of this on both real and fake sites: "...the existence of FDA's ban of ozone therapy in the USA since the 1940s even after 60 years of prior successful ozone therapy in America. The FDA also ignores the fact that ozone therapy is currently used safely, effectively, and openly in Germany, Russia, and Cuba. Evidently, America's Medical Mafia is not fond of ozone therapy's proven efficacy for a wide range of diseases..."
99% of my information is from my friend; we were in graduate school together, and he worked at this medical device company at the time as a managing engineer.
It looks like the dental profession has a very serious fake news problem.
