“…chronic wounds and cancers. It has been shown through in vitro cell studies and in vivo animal experiments that cold atmospheric plasma, herein referred to as plasma, might accelerate wound healing by stimulation of cell growth and migration [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], and also decontaminate infected wounds through targeted destruction of bacterial cells [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Similar results have been obtained in clinical studies where the efficacy of plasma in wound decontamination and healing has been demonstrated [23][24][25][26].…”

“…[http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4967880] There is significant optimism that cold atmospheric plasmas might one day be effectively and routinely utilized for targeted cancer therapy, 1-3 wound decontamination [4][5][6][7][8] and wound healing. [9][10][11] The action of plasma jets, usually operated with helium (He) and argon (Ar), is linked to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS).…”

The effect of oxidation, oxygenation, and de-oxygenation arising from He gas jet and He plasma jet treatments on the viability of skin cells cultured in vitro has been investigated. He gas jet treatment de-oxygenated cell culture medium in a process referred to as “sparging.” He plasma jet treatments oxidized, as well as oxygenated or de-oxygenated cell culture medium depending on the dissolved oxygen concentration at the time of treatment. He gas and plasma jets were shown to have beneficial or deleterious effects on skin cells depending on the concentration of dissolved oxygen and other oxidative molecules at the time of treatment. Different combinations of treatments with He gas and plasma jets can be used to modulate the concentrations of dissolved oxygen and other oxidative molecules to influence cell viability. This study highlights the importance of a priori knowledge of the concentration of dissolved oxygen at the time of plasma jet treatment, given the potential for significant impact on the biological or medical outcome. Monitoring and controlling the dynamic changes in dissolved oxygen is essential in order to develop effective strategies for the use of cold atmospheric plasma jets in biology and medicine.

“…[56789101112] In dentistry, CAP has opened a new painless way to prepare tooth cavities prior to restoration. It can be an effective tool for the treatment of dental caries and for composite restorations due to its properties of deactivation of pathogenic bacteria and modification of noninflammatory tissue.…”
