The importance of this research lies in the effectiveness of the different minimally invasive techniques for the management of carious lesions. Objective: To analyze the minimally invasive treatment for the removal of carious lesions. The techniques evaluated were: conventional method, ART, papacarie, laser and abrasive air. Methodology: A compilation of articles published in the last 5 years was carried out using the PubMed electronic database. Abstracts and full texts were identified that included information on the techniques for minimally invasive treatment of carious lesions: the conventional method, ART, papacarie, laser and abrasive air. Results: The conventional technique is the most commonly used at present, but it is the most aggressive because it removes both healthy and infected tissue. ART is one of the most economical and least painful measures for caries management. Papacarie is a minimally invasive chemical removal method and does not require local anesthesia. Laser for caries removal is expensive, but it is one of the least abrasive ways to manage it, and the abrasive air does not irritate pulp or adjacent tissues. Conclusions: Removal of dental caries with rotary instruments is frequently associated with thermal and pressure effects on the pulp, resulting in pain. Due to the shortcomings of the bur, alternatives such as chemo-mechanical caries removal with sharp instruments (ART), laser and abrasive air were developed, which have a disintegrating effect on the caries tissue, while leaving healthy dentin largely intact.
Introduction: Dental caries is a chronic infectious disease with a multifactorial etiology that leads to the destruction of the dental tissues. Objective:To analyze the literature on the influence of chemical-mechanical and conventional caries removal methods, as well as self-etching and wash-and-rinse adhesive systems on adhesion forces. Methodology: A compilation of articles published in the last 5 years was carried out using PubMed, Google Scholar and SCOPUS. Abstracts and full texts were identified that included information on factors influencing resin application: "papacarie", "rotatory", "adhesive", "self-etching", "etch and rinse". Results: The use of papacarie makes the dentin porous and irregular having a stronger bond. The traditional method shows the presence of smear smear affecting the bond between the adhesive and the dentin. Self-etching adhesives, by not performing the etching and rinsing step, can affect the bonding pattern on the enamel prisms. The increase to bond strength in etch-and-rinse adhesive systems is attributed to the increased porosity created in the enamel. Conclusions: Papacarie exhibits better bonding properties and higher surface energy compared to the conventional method. Self-etching adhesives exhibit lower bond strengths than etch-and-rinse adhesives, this is attributed to increased penetration of the adhesive into the tooth surface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
