The aim of the study was to assess the chemical composition
of root dentine resulted after carious dentine removal using
Carisolv system. 12 extracted teeth having root carious
lesions were used in this study. The teeth were divided in
two halves so that the section plan to separate the healthy
root surface from the carious one. Two samples were
obtained for every tooth: one with a dentinal surface affected
by caries (study group) and the other with a healthy dentinal
surface (control group). On the study group the carious root
infected dentine was removed using the Carisolv system. The
other 12 root dentinal section from the healthy surfaces were
used as samples in the control group. The dentin surfaces
resulted were subjected to examination by the microanalysis
of the energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) elements system,
which allowed the determination of the quantitative and
qualitative chemical composition, as well as the chemical
elements mapping on the examined surfaces. The mean
calcium and phosphorus ions concentration in the control
group were 25,23 wt% and 10,84 wt%, respectively. In the
study group the mean calcium and phosphorus ions
concentration were 24,61wt% and 10,52 wt%, respectively.
The results were statistically analyzed using Mann-Whitney
test. No statistical significant differences were found when
compared the calcium and phosphorus ions concentrations
on carious root dentin in the two groups. Carisolv system did
not lead to quantitative and qualitative changes of the
mineral content in residual root dentin.
