Abstract

Background: Newer techniques of Brix 3000 gel, Polymer bur and laser irradiation of dentinal caries removal are minimally invasive methods and should be more frequently employed in Pediatric Dentistry. To evaluate three different techniques of caries excavation in primary teeth in terms of efficacy, efficiency, fear and anxiety experienced during the procedure.

Materials and Methods: Sample of 30 children aged 5 to 9 years were equally divided into 3 groups –Brix 3000 Gel group (Group 1), Polymer bur group (Group 2), Laser group (Group 3).

Microbiological investigation was used to determine efficacy. Time was recorded to determine efficiency and Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale (WBFPS) was used to assess the pain experienced.

Results: Data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis. Intergroup comparison for Wong Baker Faces Pain Scale (WBFPS) scores and time needed for caries excavation was done using Kruskal Wallis Test. Time required was tested using One-way ANOVA test and the results obtained were statistically significant.

Conclusion: Polymer bur method was more efficient whereas laser and Brix 3000 gel methods were more comfortable.
