The direct and indirect effect on the endodont after thermic treatment with the micro-plasma unit from EGIDE were examined in animal experiments. The EGIDE unit is considered by its producer to be an alternative for CO2 lasers. The histological evaluation showed that both the plasma-therapy of dentin and the exposed pulp lead to massive pathological changes of endodont and was inferior to traditional methods as the indirect pulpcapping.
