Abstract
We performed caries treatment of 10 deciduous anterior teeth with class V carious cavity using CarisolvTMth at can remove dentine caries infected with bacteria related dental caries, the questionnaire investigation and their prognosis.
The removals of the infected dentine was confirmed by a culture test of the bacteria at each step before, during and after applying CarisolvTM.
The results were obtained as follows.
1. Before CarisolvTMw as applied, bacteria related dental caries was found in 10 teeth of all subjects with the average 6.1×105 CFU at the surface and the average 1.5×105 CFU at subsurface of the caries dentine, respectively.
2. When CarisolvTM was applied, bacteria related dental caries were found in 7 out of 10 teeth with an average 6.4×104 CFU at the surface and in 8 out of 10 teeth with an average 7.7×103 CFU at the subsurface of the caries dentine, respectively.
3. After CarisolvTM was applied, the bacteria related dental caries were found in 4 out of 10 teeth with the average 1.3×102 CFU at the surface showing decrease rate of 99.989% and of 5 out of 10 teeth with an average 1.4×10 CFU at subsurface of the caries dentine, showing a decreased rate of 99.989% and 99.995%, respectively.
4. We gave some questionnaire counseling caries treatment by CarisolvTMto the patients, and all of the subjects liked this method better than conventional methods such as the air turbine and engine instruments including local anesthesia.
5. Clinical prognosis at an average of 329 days was a fine based on no spontaneous and evoked pain, no gingival swelling and no pathologic findings by inspection and radiograph in all 10 treated by CarisolvTM. From above results, CarisolvTMap plication to caries treatment at anterior primary teeth was available.
