ABSTRACT: Disinfection was
investigated in high-density ozone produced by dielectric barrier discharge under
atmospheric pressure. Disinfection was
studied on three-dimensional carriers made of hydrophilic vinyl-polysiloxane impression
material and granular acrylic resin used for oral surgery. Experimental results
indicate disinfection of spore-forming bacteria: Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus atrophaeus, and selected species of opportunistic
pathogens: Aspergillus niger, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida
albicans.
