Summary

The main objective of this entire research project is to develop a miniature atmospheric cold plasma brush (m-ACPB) for dental clinical applications. The objective of the clinical trial portion of the study is to compare the longevity and durability of dental composite restorations created using the plasma brush, to that of the standard care in dentistry for treating dental cavities, and effects on caries prevention.
