[Evaluation of the Caridex system and its pulp biocompatibility].

Abstract
A study of the pulpal biocompatibility of the Caridex system was carried out on human premolars to be extracted bilaterally for orthodontic reasons, in 3 volunteers aged 10 to 13 years. A class V cavity was prepared bilaterally on the 2 premolars to be extracted: one of the cavities was washed with Caridex. The other was used as a control. The extractions were made immediately, 4 and 7 weeks after these operative procedures. Histological examinations showed that the Caridex system was biocompatible for the human dental pulp. A comparative study of carious cavities was conducted using light microscopy, Gram stain and transmission electron microscopy on the quality of the cleaning obtained after conventional cavity preparation and use of the Caridex system. After Caridex treatment, the dentinal surface was free of demineralized zones and no smear layer was present. The occasional presence of bacteria was noticed after conventional use of a bur as well as after Caridex. More limited clinical indications of the Caridex system are proposed.
