Cold atmospheric pressure plasma jets (CAPPJs) have antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. This study evaluated the effects CAPPJs in preventing systemic fungal dissemination in a murine model of oral mucositis associated with candidiasis.

- This study introduces an inexpensive plasma device that employs a 3D-printed design using a parallel-plate dielectric barrier discharge with a metallic mesh electrode.
- The device operates on atmospheric air without requiring additional gas supply and significantly modifies the surface composition of polyethylene, reducing carbon levels and increasing oxygen after treatment.
- It effectively reduces microbial load by over 99% within 1 to 10 minutes while maintaining Vero cell viability between 91% and 96%, indicating its potential for material surface modifications and infection control applications.
This study aimed to determine the effects of low-temperature plasma jet produced in gas helium (LTP-helium) on cariogenic biofilms composedby and , and also by the combination of and . Biofilms were treated for 1, 3, 5, and 7 minutes. A 0.
