Cold Atmospheric Plasma in Pediatric Dentistry: A Paradigm Shift toward Antibiotic-free Minimally Invasive Care.
Review in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: A revolutionary alternative to antibiotics, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) provides a potent means of addressing the worldwide problem of antibiotic resistance. Its potential use in pediatric dentistry is yet mainly untapped, which emphasizes the necessity of focused study. Materials and methods: Using a thorough examination of 20 well-reviewed publications published between 2016 and 2025, this in-depth study looks at the antibacterial qualities, modes of action, safety concerns, and clinical uses of CAP in pediatric dental care. In order to rapidly and effectively eradicate microorganisms, CAP works by generating reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), which damage bacterial cell membranes and biofilms. Results: According to this review, CAP may be used in dentistry as a less invasive option to traditional antibiotics because it eases anxiety and does not add to the growing issue of resistance. Conclusion: Despite its positive advantages, there are still several obstacles to overcome, like the requirement for cost-effectiveness, device standardization, and regulatory approval for kid-specific devices. Future research should concentrate more on improving CAP technology, investigating how it might be used with other dental advancements, and evaluating its long-term impacts on oral health results.
