It was the goal of this study to find out if Caridex is a reliable method for removing dentine caries. Different lesions on 37 teeth were treated with the system and subsequently examined for caries. The macroscopic results were verified using undecalcified thin sections stained with toluidine blue and examined for residual caries under the light microscope. Even after applying the system for as long as 30 minutes there were only two cases where the floor of the cavity could be referred to as caries-free, while none of the enamel/dentin interfaces was caries-free in the cases treated. Histologically four preparations could be considered caries-free. The use of the Caridex system alone produced no satisfactory results.
本研究的目的是确定Caridex是否是一种可靠的去除牙本质龋的方法。用该系统治疗了37颗牙齿上的不同病变，随后检查是否有龋齿。使用甲苯胺蓝染色的未脱钙薄片对宏观结果进行验证，并在光学显微镜下检查残留龋齿。即使将该系统应用长达30分钟，也只有两例龋洞底部可被认为无龋，而在治疗的病例中，釉质/牙本质界面均无龋。组织学上，有四份标本可被认为无龋。单独使用Caridex系统未产生令人满意的结果。
