Plasma against bacteria and biofilms in periodontal or peri-implant diseases
In their study, Jungbauer et al. investigated the use of the cold-atmospheric plasma device piezobrush® PZ3 against periodontal and peri-implant diseases.
Plasma technology in dentistry is no longer a new topic. The piezobrush combines the sterilizing effect of atmospheric plasma with a highly efficient increase in surface energy. Overall, surface treatment with plasma technology offers decisive advantages for many fields of application in biotechnology, pharmacology and medical technology – and also in dentistry. The acceleration of wound healing is particularly noteworthy here.
In this study, the effect of sandblasting and cold atmospheric plasma on the shear bond strength of adhesive resin cement to zirconia was investigated. Both methods showed a positive effect of the shear bond strength. The best results could be achieved by combining the two methods.
