Translational plasma stomatology: applications of cold atmospheric plasmas in dentistry and their extension

Abstract

In recent years, translational plasma medicine (TPM), as a novel application area of plasmas, has attracted much attention of experts from both academic and clinical fields. State-of-the-art of the lab-scale research and clinical trials of the cold atmospheric plasmas (CAPs) in the stomatology are reviewed in detail from the direct and indirect applications of the CAPs. Based on the discussions concerning the relationship between the plasma stomatology and the plasma medicine, it is indicated that it would be an important reference for promoting the TPM starting from the fundamental and application studies in the field of dentistry, which is also one of the most three promising application fields of plasma medicine.

Mode transition induced by back‐breakdown of the gliding arc and its influence factors

“…As the fourth state of matter [1], plasma plays an increasingly important role in our daily life and scientific progress, such as for medical application, surface modification and environmental pollution control etc. [2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

Influences of the cold atmospheric plasma jet treatment on the properties of the demineralized dentin surfaces

“…Cold atmospheric plasmas (CAPs) have attracted much attention from researchers due to their unique features, such as low gas temperatures, abundant chemically reactive species and flexible operations with the removal of vacuum system, and have bright application prospects in the fields of bio-medicine, advanced materials synthesis and modifications, energy saving and environmental protection, etc. Among the preceding CAP applications, biological and medical applications of the CAPs have become one of the research focuses in the interdisciplinary fields of plasma physics and chemistry, biochemical engineering, medical science and clinical operations [1][2][3]. As one of the most three promising application fields in plasma medicine at the present time, i.e., cancer therapy, dermatology and stomatology, study of the CAPs in dentistry can also be regarded as a miniature of the plasma medicine, including indirect applications of CAPs for the surface modifications of biomedical materials, and direct applications of CAPs for the medical therapy [2,3].…”

Recent studies have shown that the CAP treatment can be regarded as an effective and clean method for producing the micro-or nanoscale structures on the biomaterials or implants [4,5].…”

Effect Of Non-Thermal Air Plasma Treatment On Shear Bond Strength Of Adhesive Resin Cement To Zirconia

“…It also can be classified according to their parameters. At atmospheric pressure level, there is a thermal type and cold plasma (non-thermal) with gas temperature close to room temperature (11) .…”
