Description
Summary:Chemomechanical caries removal (CMCR) is a noninvasive procedure that uses a chemical substance to remove the diseased dentin. The natural dental architecture is also preserved using this technique, preventing patient discomfort and pulp irritation. This method of eliminating caries is based on disintegration. This method removes soft carious dentin using chemical agents and non-traumatic mechanical force. This study was carried out to evaluate the clinical and microbiological evaluation of the chemomechanical caries removal agents in primary molars. For the elimination of caries, teeth in category I (polymer bur category) were treated with Smartburs II® (SS White Dental, Lakewood, New Jersey, United States) (n = 40). Teeth treated with the new Carisolv® technology (Mediteam, Sweden) to remove caries (n = 40). Teeth were treated for removal cavities in category III (conventional group) using excavators and carbon steel low-speed round burs from Dentsply Maillefer in Switzerland (n = 40). There was an evaluation of the efficacy of caries removal, the time required for caries removal, patient satisfaction, and microbial culture assessment. In comparison to the other two categories, the conventional category median caries detector dye values were considerably lower (p value
