Abstract

The Chemo-mechanical caries removal technique involves the application of chemical agents, to cause a selective softening of the carious dentine and facilitate removal by gentle excavation. Carisolv® is one such new chemical agent used in this minimal invasive technique of carious dentine removal. The pre-sent study was, therefore, undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of Carisolv® in the chemo-mechanical removal of carious dentine, the time taken for caries removal, the perception of the treatment by the patient, and to evaluate the restorations, radiographically. Accordingly, fifty primary and permanent molars with dentinal carious lesions were excavated using this technique of caries removal. The chemo-mechanical caries removal technique using Carisolv® proved to be an effective atraumatic treat-ment modality with potential interest for use in clinical pediatric dentistry.
