BRITTNI GRUSECKI
MAEGAN EDGERLY
What is
New state-of-the-art sterilization method
More economical
LTAPP?
Less corrosive
Faster
Can be used in other areas of dentistry as
well
Plasma is one of the four states of matter
like (solid, liquid, gas)
Much like gas but has free electrons
Plasma is a gaseous mixture of negatively
Plasma?
It is created by heating a gas or
combining a strong electromagnetic field
to a gas
Examples of plasmas: lightening, stars,
neon signs, and auroras (northern lights)
How is it useful in dentistry?
Disinfection of instruments
This device focuses a thin layer of plasma energy to a small target area, for
small cavities and narrow crevices in the treatment of dental caries and
periodontal disease.
Teeth Whitening
HOW?
LTAPP is mixed with a 36% H2O2
gel which enhances the effect of
the hydrogen peroxide
