Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 30 children in the age group of 8-15yrs, each having at least three permanent molar teeth with non-pulpally involved carious lesions. Each of the three teeth was randomly assigned to be treated with either Carie-care, Carisolv or high-speed cavity excavation with air-rotor. The following assessments were made for each tooth: efficacy of caries r...

abstract statement of problem: there is no enough published data about the shear bond strength of resin modified glass ionomer adhesives on caries-affected primary tooth dentin excavated using minimally invasive systems. objectives: to evaluate the shear bond strength of 2 different adhesives (one resin modified glass ionomer and one resin) using two caries removal techniques on healthy and car...

AIM To evaluate four different techniques of caries excavation in primary teeth in terms of efficacy, efficiency and pain experienced during the procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sample of 120 teeth from children aged 5 to 9 years were equally divided into 4 groups - Air rotor (group A), Carisolv (group B), Papacarie (group C) and Er:YAG laser (group D). Visual and tactile criteria along with ...

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a new pepsin enzyme-based gel compared with Carisolv as CMCRagent. Clinical and radiographical evaluations recurrent caries were made 3 6 months after treatment.Material Methods: A split-mouth designed randomized controlled clinical study was carried out on 40 primaryanterior teeth children aged between 4-7 years. Pepsin solution appliedto carious lesions ...
