Biomedicines 2023; 11:biomedicines11051401. [PMID: 37239072 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11051401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The failure of endodontic treatment is frequently associated with the presence of remaining microorganisms, mainly due to the difficulty of eliminating the biofilm and the limitation of conventional irrigation solutions. Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma (NTPP) has been suggested for many applications in the medical field and can be applied directly to biological surfaces or indirectly through activated liquids. This literature review aims to evaluate the potential of NTPP application in Endodontics. A search in the databases Lilacs, Pubmed, and Ebsco was performed. Seventeen manuscripts published between 2007 and 2022 that followed our established inclusion criteria were found. The selected manuscripts evaluated the use of NTPP regarding its antimicrobial activity, in the direct exposure and indirect method, i.e., plasma-activated liquid. Of these, 15 used direct exposure. Different parameters, such as working gas and distance from the apparatus to the substrate, were evaluated in vitro and ex vivo. NTPP showed a disinfection property against important endodontic microorganisms, mainly Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans. The antimicrobial potential was dependent on plasma exposure time, with the highest antimicrobial effects over eight minutes of exposure. Interestingly, the association of NTPP and conventional antimicrobial solutions, in general, was shown to be more effective than both treatments separately. This association showed antimicrobial results with a short plasma exposure time, what could be interesting in clinical practice. However, considering the lack of standardization of the direct exposure parameters and few studies about plasma-activated liquids, more studies in the area for endodontic purposes are still required.

Abstract
The activation of water by non-thermal plasma creates a liquid with active constituents referred to as plasma-activated water (PAW). Due to its active constituents, PAW may play an important role in different fields, such as agriculture, the food industry and healthcare. Plasma liquid technology has received attention in recent years due to its versatility and good potential, mainly focused on different health care purposes. This interest has extended to dentistry, since the use of a plasma–liquid technology could bring clinical advantages, compared to direct application of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasmas (NTAPPs). The aim of this paper is to discuss the applicability of PAW in different areas of dentistry, according to the published literature about NTAPPs and plasma–liquid technology. The direct and indirect application of NTAPPs are presented in the introduction. Posteriorly, the main reactors for generating PAW and its active constituents with a role in biomedical applications are specified, followed by a section that discusses, in detail, the use of PAW as a tool for different oral diseases.

Abstract
As an efficient strategy for the modification of material surfaces, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has been used in dentistry to improve hard and soft tissue integration of dental implant materials. We previously found the Streptococcus mutans growth was inhibited on the surface of zirconia implant abutment after a 60-second helium cold atmospheric plasma treatment. However, the mechanism of bacterial growth inhibition on CAP-treated zirconia has not been fully understood. The duration of bacterial inhibition effectiveness on CAP-treated zirconia has also been insufficiently examined. In this work, we assume that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the primary cause of bacterial inhibition on CAP-treated zirconia. The ROS staining and an ROS scavenger were utilized to evaluate the bacterial intracellular ROS level, and to determine the role of ROS in bacterial growth inhibition when seeded on CAP-treated zirconia. The time-dependent effectiveness of CAP treatment was determined by changes in surface characteristics and antibacterial efficacy of zirconia with different storage times after CAP treatment. This study confirmed that the presence of reactive oxygen species on the zirconia surface after CAP treatment inhibits the growth of Streptococcus mutans on the material surface. Although the antibacterial efficacy of the 60-second CAP-treated zirconia decreased over time, there were fewer bacteria on the treated surface than those on the untreated surface after 14 days.

Abstract
Self-organized TiO2 nanotube layer has been formed on titanium screws with complex geometry, which are used as dental implants. TiO2 nanotubes film was grown by potentiostatic anodizing in H3PO4 and HF aqueous solution. During anodizing, the titanium screws were mounted on a rotating apparatus to produce a uniform structure both on the peaks and on the valleys of the threads. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and electrochemical characterization were used to evaluate the layer, chemical composition and electrochemical properties of the samples. Aging in Hank’s solution of both untreated and nanotubes covered screw, showed that: (i) samples are covered by an amorphous oxide layer, (ii) the nanotubes increases the corrosion resistance of the implant, and (iii) the presence of the nanotubes catalyses the formation of chemical compounds containing Ca and P.
