Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

restauration evaluation
the restauration will be assessed by clinical examination for detection the current caries

Secondary Outcome Measures

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To evaluate the efficacy of a papain-based gel in caries removal.
Detailed Description
Twenty children with at least two carious molar teeth without pulpal involvement participated in this randomized clinical trial. A total of 40 teeth were randomly divided into two treatment groups: group A, papain-based gel; and group B, conventional technique. Data collection included the time required for caries removal, need for local anesthesia, degree of discomfort, changes in the number of viable bacteria, and clinical evaluation of glass ionomer-cement restorations 6-month post-treatment.
