The aim of the present study was to compare and evaluate the efficacy of two minimally invasive methods in the removal of infected carious dentin in primary molars.
Eighty primary molars with class I occlusal caries involving dentin were selected and allocated to either of the two groups using convenient sampling. Group A ( = 40) caries were excavated using BRIX 3000 and in Group B ( = 40) atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) caries were excavated using hand instruments only. In both groups, caries removal efficacy was evaluated clinically using caries detection dye (Sable and Sleek), and the patient's discomfort level was noted using the Wong-Baker faces pain rating scale (WBFPS).
The results indicated that BRIX 3000 was effective in the removal of caries from primary molars with a significant difference. While there was no statistically significant difference seen in pain perception on caries excavation using both the methods. Although, a mild discomfort was noted in Group B.
Comparing the two minimally invasive techniques, the new chemomechanical solution (BRIX 3000) was an effective method for the removal of caries from primary molars. So, it can be considered an alternative to the conventional caries removal method in treating pediatric dental patients.
BRIX 3000 gel is effective in the removal of caries in children who are anxious and apprehensive as it is a noninvasive method of treatment in the pediatric age group.
本研究旨在比较和评估两种微创方法在去除儿童乳磨牙感染性龋坏牙本质中的疗效。
采用便利抽样法选取 80 颗涉及牙本质的 I 类窝沟龋的乳磨牙，并将其分配到两组。组 A（n = 40）使用 BRIX 3000 进行龋蚀去除，组 B（n = 40）使用手动器械进行无创伤性修复治疗（ART）龋蚀去除。两组均采用龋蚀检测染料（Sable 和 Sleek）进行临床龋蚀去除效果评估，并采用 Wong-Baker 面部疼痛评定量表（WBFPS）记录患者的不适程度。
结果表明，BRIX 3000 去除乳磨牙龋坏牙本质的效果显著，差异有统计学意义。两种方法在龋蚀去除过程中的疼痛感知方面无统计学差异，但组 B 有轻度不适。
比较两种微创技术，新型化学机械解决方案（BRIX 3000）是去除乳磨牙龋坏牙本质的有效方法。因此，在治疗儿童牙科患者时，它可以作为传统龋蚀去除方法的替代方法。
BRIX 3000 凝胶对焦虑和恐惧的儿童是一种有效的治疗方法，因为它是一种在儿科年龄段的非侵入性治疗方法。
