Eficacia del complejo enzimático extraído a través del método de percolación para la remoción atraumática de caries en dientes deciduos y permanentes. Estudio Ex Vivo, Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2019.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of removal of carious tissue of the enzymatic complex (Carica pentagone), obtained through the percolation method Vs. removal with dentine spoon in deciduous and permanent teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The enzymatic complex was obtained through the percolation method, after which a sample of 16 teeth was obtained, half of which corresponded to deciduous teeth and the other half to permanent teeth. For each tooth, two sides were obtained, with the enzymatic complex being applied on 16 sides and 16 sides where the decayed tissue was removed only with a dentine spoon, a total of 32 sides were examined. RESULTS: the result obtained was that the enzymatic complex extracted through the percolation method had an efficiency percentage equal to that of the dentine spoon, for which it is not considered statistically effective.
