Abstract

Aim and objective: • To compare the clinical efficiency in removal of caries by the two different methods of caries removal. • To compare the treatment time between chemomechanical and rotary mechanical methods of caries removal. • To compare the pain perception of the patient during the two different methods (chemomechanical and rotary mechanical) of dentin caries removal. Materials and methods: The Carisolv system for caries removal, consisting of a solvent gel and a specially designed hand instrument, as compared to the conventional method of caries removal, i.e., Airotor. Sixty patients in the age-group of 6–14 years, having Black's class I dentinal caries with the cavity in the molars, were enrolled for the study. Results: The time for caries removal with Carisolv and Airotor was, respectively, 7.17 ± 1.57 and 8.00 ± 1.56 minutes. Thus, the mean time taken was also significantly higher in group II as compared to group I (t = 4.805; p < 0.001).
