A new study out from Germany indicates that bacteria-killing jets of plasma could soon replace the dental drills currently used to remove the cavities in our teeth making visits to the dentist’s office less painful.

Plasma is the fourth state of matter, after solids, liquids and gases. It is formed when gases are energized to the point where electrons fly off some or all of their atoms.

Researchers recently demonstrated that a small, blowtorch-like device emitting a relatively cool beam of purple plasma can eliminate oral bacteria in cavities, leaving more tooth structure intact than a drill does.

Get ready for this. The first dentist to market himself as a mad scientist wins.

    It’s amazing how fast technology has managed to come up with this.
    I’m sure there are many dentists who have yet to know of this new study.
    The first entrepreneur with a Silver tongue can benefit a great deal from this in many other countries.
