Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Caries Active

In brief

This study aims to clinically assess this newly introduced Egyptian chemo-mechanical caries removal gel versus conventional drilling method . The concept of preserving healthy tooth structures and employing atraumatic restorative techniques during cavity preparation aligns with the principles of minimally invasive dentistry. This approach prioritizes patient comfort, reassurance, and fosters a positive perception of dental treatment.
