Plasma needle: The future of Dentistry

Journal Name:

Abstract (2. Language): 
There is an uncontrolled and unwanted damage to the structure of tooth, whenever any mechanical or a chemical procedure is applied in order to treat a dental cavity or a carious tooth. This led to the development of plasma needle in the field of dentistry. This unique and unprecedented technology, which, though; commonly in use for disinfection and sterilization of medical paraphernalia (instruments etc), as well as undertaking decontamination in biological warfare; has a tremendous potential in the dental field too. The present article discusses the technology in detail, with special emphasis on its operative details and the useful applications of the same
