Synopsis A recent study demonstrated that the self-limiting caries excavation protocol under magnification increased pulp survival rate compared to rotary bur excavation. This week's 'MED FACT' discusses a study from the Journal ‘Journal Of Dental Research’, “Self-Limiting versus Conventional Caries Removal: A Randomized Clinical Trial”. Authors: A.H. Ali et.al.
Key Takeaways: Self-limiting caries excavation protocol under magnification increased pulp survival rate compared to rotary bur excavation. Objective: To compare chemomechanical Carisolv gel/operating microscope (self-limiting) versus selective removal to leathery dentin using rotary burs (control) in patients with deep caries Study: Single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial Patients: 54 What Was The Need For This Study? A minimally invasive chemomechanical excavation method, Carisolv gel has been shown to remove the…
