Four different cold plasma sources were directly applied onto a 24h inoculum of Candida glabrata inoculated on agar plates, within the limits of in vitro experiment. Their effects were compared and evaluated with respect to the size and stability of the inhibition zones formed in the posttreatment cultivation. The results prove significant inhibitory cold atmospheric‐pressure plasma effects on the yeast C. glabrata. The overall inhibitory effects are directly proportional to the treatment time, the applied power, and the overall functioning of the plasma source and indirectly proportional to the initial cell concentration, although this factor was less significant compared to the other examined factors. The unipolar microwave torch was found to be the most effective in the inhibition of C. glabrata.

“…As regards root canal disinfection, Lu et al [40] successfully inactivated Enterococcus faecalis bacterium in the root canal using a CAP jet device. Shali et al [41] also examined the effectiveness of CAPs in the disinfection of the tooth root canal. From the progress in the use of CAPs in dentistry, it was hoped that CAPs could lead to fear-free and painless treatments in the near future.…”

Cold atmospheric plasmas (CAPs) are being used in applications related to dentistry. Potential benefits include tooth whitening/bleaching, the sterilization of dental cavities, and root canal disinfection. Generated reactive species, such as hydroxyl (OH) radicals, play a critical role in the effectiveness of CAPs in dentistry. In the present work, the mandibular jaw and teeth were modeled. The propagation of CAP plume in ambient air was dynamically tracked using the level set method. The transport and dispersion OH radicals away from the nozzle and towards the teeth under treatment were also tracked. The distributions of concentration of OH radicals over the teeth were obtained for nozzle to tooth distances of 2 and 4 mm. The discharge of the OH radicals out of the nozzle was found to be asymmetrical. Interestingly, depending on the type of tooth treated, the dispersion of OH radicals out of the nozzle could be altered. The present model and obtained results could be useful for advancements towards a fear-free dentistry using CAPs.
