Technologies for plasma periodontal treatment devices and methods

Abstract

A hand-held dental device may be configured to generate plasma for treatment of periodontal disease in a targeted tissue in a subject’s oral cavity. The device may comprise a tip configured to apply a plasma generating electro-magnetic field. The tip comprises an electrically conductive tube extending from a proximal end of the tube to a distal end of the tube and having at least one hole near the distal end of the tube. The device may comprise at least one electrode disposed within the electrically conductive tube in at least one orientation with the electrically conductive tube. The disposition arranged to provide an air gap between the electrically conductive tube and the at least one electrode at least along a portion of the electrically conductive tube. The at least one electrode comprises at least one layer of insulation completely covering the at least one electrode. at least one electrode. 20 26 23 40 60 17 S ep 2 02 6 2 0 2 6 2 3 4 0 6 0 1 7 S e p 2 0 2 6
