Background and Aim: Improving the bond strength at the resin-dentin interface is an important challenge in adhesive dentistry. This study examined the effect of low-power, non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma (NT-APP) treatments on the adhesion of a self-adhesive resin composite to dentin. Materials and Methods: In this experimental in-vitro study, buccal enamel of extracted bovine incisors...

Non-thermal plasma, also called non equilibrium arc plasma, is a kind of low temperature plasma. Thermal arc plasma is usually driven by a high power supply and characterized by a high current (several amperes to tens of amperes) and a small low voltage (tens of voltage). It is a kind of strongly self-sustaining high-temperature discharge. Unlike thermal plasma, non-thermal arc plasma is usuall...

Plasma is the fourth state of matter and other states of matter are liquid, gas, and solid. Plasma occurs as a natural phenomenon in the universe in the form of fire, in the polar aurora borealis and in the nuclear fusion reactions of the sun and also can be created artificially which has gained importance in the fields of plasma screens or light sources. There are two types of plasma: thermal ...

The objective of current study was to determine the effects of non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) on physiological features of Black Cumin seeds. Black Cumin seeds were divided into 4 groups: one control group and three experimental groups. The experimental groups were exposed to NTAP for 5, 10 and 20 minutes, respectively. Then the seeds of the experimental and control groups grew for 21 da...

Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma is a novel approach for wound healing, blood coagulation, and cancer therapy. A recent discovery in the field of plasma medicine is that non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma not only directly but also indirectly affects cells via plasma-treated liquids. This discovery has led to the use of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma as a novel chemotherapy...

Non-thermal plasma is increasingly being recognized for a wide range of medical and biological applications. However, the effect of non-thermal plasma on physiological functions is not well characterized in in vivo model systems. Here we use a genetically amenable, widely used model system, Drosophila melanogaster, to develop an in vivo system, and investigate the role of non-thermal plasma in ...

Thermal plasmas and lasers have been used in medicine to cut and ablate tissues and for coagulation. Non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma (NEAPP; non-thermal plasma) is a recently developed, non-thermal technique with possible biomedical applications. Although NEAPP reportedly generates reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, electrons, positive ions, and ultraviolet radiation, few research pr...

Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma has attracted great interest due to its multiple potential biomedical applications with cancer treatment being among the most urgent. To realize the clinical potential of non-thermal plasma, the exact cellular and molecular mechanisms of plasma effects must be understood. This work aimed at studying the prostate cancer specific mechanisms of non-thermal p...
