摘要: Aims:  A nonthermal atmospheric plasma, designed for biomedical applications, was tested its antimicrobial activity against biofilm cultures of a key cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans. Methods and Results:  The Strep. mutans biofilms were grown with without 0·15% sucrose. chlorhexidine digluconate rinse (0·2%) used as positive reference. presence sucrose the frequency plasma application during growth shown to have significant effect on response treatment antibacterial activity. Conclusions:  single 1 min cultured caused no re-growth within observation period. However, either or repeated treatments 1 min, sucrose, only reduced. Significance Impact Study:  In summary, there may be role therapies in dental procedures. Sucrose associated conditions factor survival oral after treatment.
