Brief summary
The aim of this study is to assess the clinical and radiographic effectiveness of Enzyme Pepsin-based Gel compared with carisolv solution as chemomechanical caries removal agents in Primary teeth. Randomized controlled clinical trial The null hypothesis tested is that there is no statistically significant difference in clinical and radiographic success rates between Enzyme Pepsin-based Gel and carisolv solution.
Interventions
Anterior primary teeth with class V caries in children aged 4-7 years, who screen in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Damascus university, will be involved in this split mouth design study
Intra- and extraoral examinations of patients will be performed before the treatment and their initial radiologic examinations will be performed.
The carious lesion will be covered with Enzyme Pepsin-based Gel and left undisturbed for 40 s. Then, it will be removed by scraping gently with a spoon excav
Anterior primary teeth with class V caries in children aged 4-7 years, who screen in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Damascus university, will be involved in this split mouth design study Intra- and extraoral examinations of patients will be performed before the treatment and their initial radiologic examinations will be performed. The carious lesion will be covered with Enzyme Pepsin-based Gel and left undisturbed for 40 s. Then, it will be removed by scraping gently with a spoon excavator without application of any vertical pressure, under the isolation of rubber dam, this process will be repeated until the cavity appeare clean. caries detector dye will be used to confirm that the cavity is free of caries. All teeth will be restored with Glass inomer cement. The expected duration for the whole procedure is 20 minutes A single practitioner will perform excavation of caries for all teeth so that caries removal and excavation will be identical. Clinical and radiographic evaluation will be performed after 3 and 6 Months.
