Due to several urgent applications such as plasma medicine, atmospheric-pressure nonequilibrium plasma jets (APNP-Js) have attracted lots of attention in the past two decades. Researchers found that APNP-Js could be used in various applications of dentistry. In this paper, first, a brief review on APNP-Js is presented. Second, the details about the application of the APNP-Js in the oral cavity, one...
Summary form only given. For root canal disinfection, the principal methods include mechanic cleaning, irrigation, laser irradiation, ultrasound, application of hypochlorite, and other anti-bacterial compounds. Clinic studies show that there are about 10% of treatment failures when the traditional disinfection methods are used. The failures are mainly due to the presence of bacteria, which can't be...
Because of their unique features, non-thermal plasmas have recently been considered an attractive technology for various applications, including biomedicine. In-depth studies on the interaction of non-thermal plasmas with microorganisms, however, have mainly focused on bacteria, with only little attention given to more complex eukaryotic cells. Interestingly, the effect and mechanism of interaction...
Summary form only given. As low-temperature nonequilibrium plasmas come to play an increasing role in biomedical applications, reliable and user friendly sources need to be developed. These plasma sources have to meet stringent requirements such as low temperature (at or near room temperature), operation at atmospheric pressure, portability, etc. We have recently developed a plasma pencil that is...
