Neue Kariestherapie

In dieser prospektiven Studie wurden 32 erwachsene Patienten und 42 Zähne mit tiefen Dentinkavitäten behandelt. Bei der Exkavation der Karies wurde zwar an den Kavitätenwänden erweichtes Dentin entfernt, nur teilweise jedoch über der Pulpa. Die Kavitäten wurden mit adhäsiven Kompositfüllungen versorgt. Ein Zahn musste endodontisch behandelt werden. Alle anderen Zähne reagierten nach 3 bis 12 Monaten vital auf den Kältetest und wiesen keine Frakturen der Füllungen auf. Bisher zeigt diese Kariestherapie keine Nachteile gegenüber dem klassischen Verfahren.

In this prospective study 42 teeth with advanced dentin caries of adult patients were treated. Soft infected dentin was removed from axial cavity walls, but only partially over the pulp. The teeth were filled with adhesive composite restorations. One tooth had to be treated endontically. After 3 to 12 months all other teeth were vital on cold stimuli and the restorations were intact and no fractures visible. So far this form of caries therapy has no disadvantages compared to the classical way.
