Article Synopsis
- The failure of endodontic treatments is often linked to leftover microorganisms due to challenges in effectively removing biofilms, with traditional irrigation methods having limitations.
- Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma (NTPP) emerges as a promising solution, with the potential for direct application on biological surfaces or through plasma-activated liquids, demonstrated in a review of 17 studies from 2007 to 2022.
- NTPP exhibits strong antimicrobial properties, particularly with longer exposure times, and is most effective when used in combination with conventional antimicrobial solutions, although more standardized research is necessary to fully understand its application in endodontics.
Article Synopsis
- Antifungal resistance is becoming a significant issue in medicine, highlighting the need for new treatment options for fungal infections, particularly superficial candidiasis.
- Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has shown promise as a treatment method, demonstrating effectiveness against biofilms in laboratory and clinical settings, but its interaction with traditional antifungals is not well understood.
- The study found that CAP alone was more effective than traditional antifungals like nystatin and amphotericin B, and while CAP can work in combination with them, its standalone use yielded better results against biofilms.
