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...

In this era of minimal intervention dentistry, the changing concept of cavity preparation and the introduction of reliable adhesive materials have lead to the development of alternative methods of caries removal. Chemo mechanical caries removal (CMCR) involves the chemical softening of the carious dentine, followed by its removal with gentle excavation. This process removes only the infected ti...

AIM The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of chemo-mechanical method for caries removal based on histological analysis and scanning electron microscopy of dentine samples. METHODS Forty-five freshly extracted human deciduous and permanent teeth with dentinal caries were used in this in vitro study. The teeth were allocated to two different technique groups. Chemo- mechanical caries ...

Aim: To compare the caries removal efficacy between chemomechanical method (Carisolv) and conventional method (airotor) in freshly extracted molars. Materials And Methods: 100 freshly extracted molars with dentinal caries on the occlusal surface were selected. Of which, 50 teeth were treated with chemo-mechanical (Carisolv) and in the other 50 teeth by conventional (airotor) method. Completenes...

Background: In children, caries removal by means of conventional rotary instruments is often associated with pain and discomfort. An alternative method to conventional caries removal by means of rotary instruments is the use of chemo-mechanical caries removal agents. Aim: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of two chemomechanical caries removal agents Carisolv and Papacarie in reducing carioge...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of various caries removal techniques in mandibular primary molars using Smart Burs, atraumatic restorative technique (ART) (mechanical caries removal) and Carie-care (chemomechanical caries removal [CMCR]) among primary school children in clinical and community-based settings. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 80 carious primary mandibular molars were sel...

AIM The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of removing dentine caries using carbide burs, Carisolv with hand instruments and Carisolv in combination with a new mechanical excavation method using a rotating brush. METHODS 36 extracted permanent teeth, with dentine caries, were assigned into 3 groups according to caries removal technique. Caries removal was monitored by checking the p...

Caries is a disease of human dentition characterized by the loss of mineralized surfaces of the toot di non-specific removal of plaque by mechanical means such as brushing, although it is difficu this method. Caries is also a widespread infection in children. Streptococcus mutans and S. gents of caries heres to the en ria.

PURPOSE The purpose of this controlled clinical trial was to compare the working time for caries removal in primary teeth, the need for local anesthesia and patient cooperation, when the chemomechanical Carisolv or the conventional mechanical method were used. METHODS The sample consisted of primary teeth of children who had occlusal or buccal carious lesions into dentin. High speed and/or lo...
