Figure 5

Components of a plasma jet and DBD (dielectric barrier discharge) plasma. A plasma jet can penetrate into small structures and it has a small size and lightweight, making it ideal for use in dental treatments. DBB plasma device consists of a carrier gas, which moves between two electrodes and is ionized to create plasma.
