In recent years, translational plasma medicine (TPM), as a novel application area of plasmas, has attracted much attention of experts from both academic and clinical fields. State-of-the-art of the lab-scale research and clinical trials of the cold atmospheric plasmas (CAPs) in the stomatology are reviewed in detail from the direct and indirect applications of the CAPs. Based on the discussions concerning the relationship between the plasma stomatology and the plasma medicine, it is indicated that it would be an important reference for promoting the TPM starting from the fundamental and application studies in the field of dentistry, which is also one of the most three promising application fields of plasma medicine.
