Histopathological examination of the chemomechanical caries removal effect on the human pulp

Abstract EN

Background : chemo mechanical caries removal systems have been discussed as an alternative to conventional caries removal.

This study examines the effect of the chemo-mechanical caries removal material on the human pup.

Material and methods : Forty eight maxillary first premolars from twenty four patient ( 18 male and 6 male) were studied and selected from patients need orthodontic treatment .class V cavity was done in each tooth and the material put inside the cavity for 20 sec, the extraction procedure done after 20minutes, 24 hours and 4 days.

Results : the histological examination of 0.5 % Chemo-mechanical caries removal at the three periods showed that there is no significant effect on the pulp of the tooth.

Conclusion : 0.5 % concentration of the manufactured chemo-mechanical caries removal can be used in dentinal caries removal safely without any adverse effect on the pulp.
