The need for novel antimicrobial techniques has become critical for a number of reasons, including the emergence of resistant strains because of excessive prescription and misuse of antibiotics. The mouth is colonized by a large number of microorganisms. When these microorganisms are organized as biofilms they can contribute to chronic diseases in the human population, such as dental caries, candidiasis, and periodontal disease. Hence, alternative antimicrobial approaches have risen to facilitate the treatment of these diseases. As novel therapies, photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy and tissue-tolerable plasma are promising methods that offer the possibility of microbial decontamination with decreased odds for the traditional side effects. Thus, the present review aims to offer an overview and future directions of these new approaches to control pathogenic oral biofilms.

A B S T R A C T Aim:To recapitulate the possible applications of non dentistry and endodontics. Objective: Non-thermal plasma is lately being researched for its applications in dentistry and cancer therapy. The objective of this review is to summarize the possible role of Non thermal plasma in conservative dentistry and endodontics. Background: Plasma is the fourth state of matter and also the most form, the other three being air, water and solid. Plasma is ionised form of gas and is of two types: thermal and non-thermal or cold atmospheric plasma. The cold atmospheric plasma based dental applications is being investigated recently in fields such as root canal disinfection, tooth whitening, sterilization, deactivation of oral biofilms, enhancement of strength of light cure restorations and cancer therapy. Reason: Cold atmospheric plasma may be of a great use in dentistry due to its properties. This review is to recapitulate and bring to light the possible uses of cold atmospheric plasma in conservative dentistry and endodontics.solid, liquid and gas are relatively well known. Plasma which is an ionised gas is considered as the fourth state of matter. It is found naturally (upper part of earth's atmosphere) and can also be produced artificially. It is neutral atoms and molecules 1 . Based on their temperature plasmas can be categorized into thermal plasmas (cold or low temperature). In thermal plasma, the component particles are in thermal equilibrium with each other. In non-thermal or cold plasmas the larger molecules comprising the gas, ions and atoms remain at low temperatures while the electrons are accelerated. Thermal plasmas are associated with electric sparks, flames, lightening, the sun and the stars. Cold plasmas are seen in fluorescent lighting tubes, neon tubes and plasma Plasmas operated at lower temperatures have attracted a lot of interest due to its use in applications such as surface film deposition and e. In the medical field, the use of non-thermal plasma in applications such as sterilization of living tissues, living objects for medical applications, blood coagulation, wound healing and tissue regeneration and . Apart from these applications, studies have been carried out to find out the possible uses of cold plasma in dentistry. The dental applications that have been experimented are inactivation of oral microorganisms associated with periodontal diseases, dental caries, root canal disinfection, surface modifications of dentine and implants, polymerization and tooth bleaching Cold plasma/ Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasmaThe temperature of non-thermal plasma is 104ºF at the point of application. Energy is required to produce plasma. Electric, light or thermal energy can be used. Cold plasma can be produced using different gases such as Helium, Argon, Nitrogen, Heliox (a mix of helium and oxygen), and air. Some methods used to produce cold atmospheric plasma are Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD), Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet (APPJ), plasma needle, and plasma pencilThe non-equilibrium...

Use of an appropriate root canal irrigant is essential during endodontic treatment, due to the complex and unpredictable anatomy of the root canal system and limitations in the mechanical instrumentation techniques used to obtain a clean, bacteria-free canal. Several irrigants, such as sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, and normal saline, have been proposed as canal system irrigants in endodontic treatment. The widely used endodontic irrigant chlorhexidine is a positively charged lipophilic/hydrophobic molecule that interacts with phospholipids and lipopolysaccharides on the bacterial cell membrane. In endodontics, its mode of antibacterial activity is determined by its concentration (0.2% or 2%). This article reviews findings from available endodontic studies on the antibacterial, antifungal, and antibiofilm activities of chlorhexidine. (J Oral Sci 56, 99-103, 2014)
