title: [Studies into the effectivity of Caridex in caries removal].
abstract: 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.
