Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for whitening teeth is disclosed. The method includes supplying a liquid sufficient to at least partially submerge a portion of a tooth; positioning a plasma device adjacent to the submerged portion of the tooth; supplying ionizable media to the plasma device; and igniting the ionizable media at the plasma device sufficient to form a plasma effluent in the presence of the liquid at the distal portion, whereby the plasma effluent reacts with the liquid to form at least one reactive species that interacts selectively with foreign matter disposed on the tooth.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for whitening teeth, comprising: supplying a liquid sufficient to at least partially submerge a portion of a tooth; positioning a plasma device adjacent to the submerged portion of the tooth, the plasma device including an electrode formed from a metal alloy and a dielectric layer covering the electrode, wherein the dielectric layer is slidably disposed over the electrode; supplying ionizable media to the plasma device; igniting the ionizable…
