It was made an in vitro evaluation to test the capability of association of the antimicrobian effect of the ozone with severe vehicles (olive oil, sunflower oil and propylene glycol) and delayed dressings (propylene glycol with calcium hydroxide, calen and calen with alcanphored paramonoclorofenol ) with the intention of finding a new delayed dressing with great germicide power and of low or non toxicity to the paradental tissues. For this purpose, there were used several culture cultivations in 6 plaques of Petri. As indicative bacterias were studied the Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enteroccus faecalis. In each plaque previously sowed, nine holes received the diverse materials and were submitted to ozonization by a bubble process. After that, they were evaluated by the antimicrobian sensitivity technique (agar diffusion and measurement of the inhibition halo) in five periods of time: 1, 7, 15, 30 and 180 days after being prepared. No statistical analysis has been made as the difference of diffusion at the agar with the different vehicles was significant enough and it was observed that the ozonized propylene glycol formed the biggest inhibiton halo in both bacterias.  Conclusions: According to the used methodology and with the obtained results we can affirm that between the evaluated substances, the propylene glycol showed the best capability of association with the ozone, followed by the propylene glycol with calcium hydroxide, sunflower oil and olive oil respectively, maintaining its antimicrobian action by all the time of evaluation. Calen and Calen PMCC did not show an effective synergic action, and so we conclude that these pastes do not have a capability of association with the ozone or this was not sufficient enough to increase their antimicrobian action.
