4.2 Analyse the information and complete the table. Instead of “Yes/No”, you are required to provide explanations. For example, if you consider the information is “current”, your answer could be “Yes. It was published in 2017”.

4.3 Describe how you will apply the information in your practice. In your answer, you must include

• Information you are going to apply
• Actions to take to apply the information
• Issues that are not addressed and need further research

The information from article of ozone therapy is what I would like to research. I obtained the useful knowledge and skills which can help me to do effective treatment plan for the patients with TMJ. However, there is an issue we need to conduct other experiments to check the accuracy of usage of oils or treatment period of ozone oil therapy.
