This periodontal disease causes damage to the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone and can cause tooth loss, but there is no definite treatment yet. In this study, we investigated the possibility of using no-ozone cold plasma to safely treat periodontitis in the oral cavity. First, human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) were treated with P. gingivalis-derived lipopolysaccharide (PG-LPS) to induce an inflammatory response, and then the anti-inflammatory effect of NCP was examined, and a study was conducted to identify the mechanism of action. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory effect of NCP was verified in rats that developed an inflammatory response similar to periodontitis. When NCP was applied to PG-LPS-treated HGFs, the activities of inflammatory proteins and cytokines were effectively inhibited. It was confirmed that the process of denaturing the medium by charged particles of NCP is essential for the anti-inflammatory effect of NCP. Also, it was confirmed that repeated treatment of periodontitis rats with NCP effectively reduced the inflammatory cells and osteoclast activity. As a result, this study suggests that NCP can be directly helpful in the treatment of periodontitis in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms25116161","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]],"date-time":"2024-06-03T12:19:46Z","timestamp":1717417186000},"page":"6161","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Anti-Inflammatory Activity of No-Ozone Cold Plasma in Porphyromonas gingivalis Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Periodontitis Rats"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3702-1799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kwang-Ha","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Corporate Affiliated Research Institute, Feagle Co., Ltd., 47, Soekgyesandan 2-gil, Sangbuk-myeon, Yangsan 50561, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, School of Dentistry, Pusan National University, Yangsan 50612, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoon-Seo","family":"Jang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Dentistry, Pusan National University, Yangsan 50612, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji-Young","family":"Joo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology of Dental Research Institute, Pusan National University Dental Hospital, Yangsan 50612, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gyoo-Cheon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Corporate Affiliated Research Institute, Feagle Co., Ltd., 47, Soekgyesandan 2-gil, Sangbuk-myeon, Yangsan 50561, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, School of Dentistry, Pusan National University, Yangsan 50612, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeong-Hae","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Corporate Affiliated Research Institute, Feagle Co., Ltd., 47, Soekgyesandan 2-gil, Sangbuk-myeon, Yangsan 50561, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"K\u00f6n\u00f6nen, E., Gursoy, M., and Gursoy, U.K. (2019).
