Thanks to a collaboration with Btk dental dental it was possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the Plasma Jet treatment as a cold plasma ionization technology for the rapid surface #decontamination of #dental #implants .

It is well known that plasma (usually generated inside vacuum chambers) can be a valid ally in the sterilization , decontamination, cleaning and surface #activation of an implantable medical device. The active and radical species in the ionized gas (plasma) are able to bring simultaneously, and in a short time, multiple benefits to the treated surface.

In this example it was possible to verify the effectiveness of cold #plasma at #atmospheric pressure in the decontamination and surface cleaning of dental implants.
The plasma is able to open covalent bonds in order to break organic chains, transforming possible contaminants into inert volatile compounds (mostly water and carbon dioxide), without leaving residues on the treated surface.
Furthermore, the effectiveness of the same technology in surface activation processes has been verified.
The active species in the plasma increase the surface energy of treated material thus making the surface more hydrophilic. After plasma treatment the implant can be completely wetted by biological liquids improving cell adhesion and proliferation on its surface.

The Dual Frequency Plasma Jet, provided by Nadir Plasma & Polymers, has a design suitable for the treatment of medical implants both in a production line and for final decontamination as a chair side tool.
The advantages observed during these studies are:
1. Speed of the process: 10-20s depending on the size of the implant
2. No surface morphological alterations
3. Flexibility and automation: the plasma flow can be directed in a selective and automated way on the implants of interest.
