Comparison of the Efficiency of Using Papain Gel (Brix 3000) and Carbide Bur in Dentin Caries Removal in deciduous teeth: an in vitro study
Abstract
Introduction: Due to the expansion of the use of chemomechanical caries removal as an alternative to traditional methods that are more preserving of dental tissues and more acceptable to patients, especially those who are anxious, the importance of having a study that show the advantages and consequences of this use have emerged.
Aim of study: The study aimed to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of two methods of removing caries, Brix 3000 and traditional excavation burs.
Materials and methods: The sample included 40 extracted deciduous molars randomly distributed into two groups, Brix 3000 and traditional excavation burs. Efficiency was evaluated by calculating the time required to remove caries and the effectiveness of both methods.
Results: The average of time taken to completely remove the caries in the Brix 3000 group was higher with a statistically significant difference than the traditional excavation burs group (P=0.000), while both methods were effective in removing the caries completely.
Conclusions: Brix 3000 is effective in removing caries similar to traditional excavation burs, but it required a longer time.
