ABSTRACT

Objective:

To evaluate the efficacy of a new pepsin enzyme-based gel compared with Carisolv as a CMCR agent. Clinical and radiographical evaluations of recurrent caries were made 3 and 6 months after treatment. Material and

Methods:

A split-mouth designed randomized controlled clinical study was carried out on 40 primary anterior teeth of children aged between 4-7 years. Pepsin enzyme-based gel and Carisolv solution were applied to carious lesions until complete removal of caries. The efficacy of both agents was evaluated by the number of application times to remove all caries. Recurrent caries were evaluated clinically and radiographically after 3 and 6 months of treatment.

Results:

Results showed no statistically significant differences in the efficacy of caries removal by the number of application times (P = 0.919). Concerning recurrent caries, clinical and radiographical evaluation after three and six months showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups (P = 0.574, P = 0.547, respectively).

Conclusion:

Pepsin enzyme-based gel can be considered similar to Carisolv gel regarding its efficacy as a CMCR agent for small carious lesions on primary anterior teeth in children aged 4-7 years old. (AU)
RESUMO

Objetivo:

avaliar a eficácia de um novo gel a base de enzima pepsina comparada com o Carisolv como um agente na remoção químico-mecânica da cárie. Avaliações clínicas e radiográficas de cárie recorrente foram feitas em 3 e 6 meses apos o tratamento. Material e

Métodos:

um estudo clínico controlado randomizado de boca-dividida foi realizado em 40 dentes deciduos anteriores de crianças com idade entre 4-7 anos. Gel à base de enzima pepsina e a soluçao de Carisolv foram aplicados sobre a lesão cariosa até a completa remoção da carie. A eficácia de ambos agentes foi avaliada pelo número de tempo de aplicações para a remoção de todo tecido cariado. Cárie recorrente foi avaliada clinicamente e radiograficamente após 3 e 6 meses de tratamento.

Resultados:

Não houve diferença significativa na eficácia de remoção de cárie pelo número de tempo de aplicação (P = 0.919). Em relação à cárie recorrente, avaliação clínica e radiográfica apos 3 e 6 meses mostraram que não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os 2 grupos (P = 0.574, P = 0.547, respectivamente).

Conclusão:

o gel à base de enzima pepsina pode ser considerado similar ao gel Carisolv em relação a sua eficácia como um agente químico-mecânico na remoção da cárie para lesões cariosas pequenas em dentes anteriores decíduos em crianças entre 4-7 anos de idade.(AU)
