The aims of this study were to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative chemical compound of the calcium and phosphorus ions on the carious radicular dentine surfaces resulted after lesional treatment with Carisolv system and to compare with the healthy radicular surfaces. EDX method was used for quantitative and qualitative chemical microanalysis of dentine radicular surfaces. This method als...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Chemo-mechanical caries removal is an effective alternative to the traditional rotary drilling method. One of the factors that can influence micro-leakage is the method of caries removal. OBJECTIVES To compare the micro-leakage of resin composite in primary dentition using self-etch and all-in one adhesives following conventional and chemo-mechanical caries removal. MAT...

AIM The goal of the study was to evaluate the effect of caries removal by three various methods on the permeability of class II composite resin restorations in primary molar teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-five recently extracted primary molars were randomly assigned to three groups for three different methods of caries removal; group 1-mechanical, group 2-caries detector dye, and group 3-...

BACKGROUND The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the microindentation hardness and chemical composition of residual dentin left at the cavity bottom following removal of carious dentin using the Carisolv chemomechanical and Er:YAG laser caries excavation methods in comparison with the conventional tungsten-carbide bur excavation. METHODS Sixty-nine extracted permanent teeth with occl...

AIMS To compare the three different methods of caries removal, conventional method using Airotor and chemomechanical method using Carisolv and Papacarie. SETTINGS AND DESIGN The patients with multiple carious teeth were selected either in the deciduous dentition or mixed dentition. Ninety primary molars were selected from 30 children (10 males and 20 females) between the age group 6 and 9 yea...

OBJECTIVES To compare the micro-tensile bond strengths of two different adhesive systems (ABF (Clearfil Protect Bond), Kuraray Medical Inc., Tokyo, Japan) and Prime & Bond NT (PBNT, Dentsply, Konstanz, Germany) bonded to caries-affected dentine retained after chemo-mechanical caries removal using Carisolv gel, with that retained after excavation using conventional hand instrumentation. METHOD...

statement of problem: microleakage is the most important factor in composite restorations failure, resulting in marginal degradation, marginal staining, secondary caries and pulp damage. one of the factors that influence microleakage is the method of caries removal. convention rotary instrumentation generates smear layer on the dental surface, whereas chemo-mechanical caries removal increases s...

The aims of this in vitro study were both to determine the time necessary for removal of carious dentin (efficiency) and the Knoop Hardness Number (KHN) of the remaining dentin (effectiveness), using a chemomechanical method (Carisolv) or hand excavation. Thirty human molars were bisected through occlusal carious lesions into two equal halves. Each half was randomly excavated by hand in circula...
