O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma breve revisão da literatura sobre remoção químico-mecânica da cárie e descrever um caso clínico com a utilização de um novo produto. De acordo com o diagnóstico clínico e radiográfico, o dente apresentava lesão de cárie em dentina sem comprometimento pulpar. Foi utilizado um novo produto químico-mecânico, BRIX 3000®, para remoção da cárie com 1 aplicação de gel por 2 minutos. Posteriormente, a cavidade foi restaurada usando um compósito bulk fill flow e uma resina composta convencional para estratificação final. Levando em consideração o caso clínico apresentado, a aplicação do gel BRIX 3000® parece ser uma boa alternativa para a remoção da cárie seguida de um tratamento restaurador, uma vez que o desconforto da criança diminuiu, resultando em um comportamento positivo. BRIX 3000 é um método eficiente de remoção químico-mecânica da cárie.
Dentin and pulp are considered interdependent substrates, known as the dentin-pulp complex. In front of injuries such as caries and trauma, this complex should be protected with restorative materials considered to be protective agents. An ideal material should have properties such as biocompatibility, be antimicrobial, be insoluble in the oral environment, be thermal and electrically insulating, have therapeutic potential, and adequate mechanical properties. As these characteristics are not found in all materials, the dentist must know the advantages and disadvantages of those that are available. This study aimed to perform a critical review of the indirect materials indicated for the protection of dentin-pulp vitality (PDPV) to ensure the success of indirect pulp treatment in primary teeth. A search was carried out in books, theses, dissertations, monographs, printed articles and databases, PubMed, SciELO, and MEDLINE. According to the literature, the success in protecting the dentin-pulp vitality is achieved through an excellent marginal seal, preventing bacterial infiltration in the dentin and controlling the progression of caries. Further clinical studies are needed to evaluate other outcomes after indirect pulp treatment. There isn’t a material that has all the desired characteristics for PDPV, and recent studies show that the key to PDPV isn’t found in the protective material, but in the restorations marginal sealing, enabling the inactivation of the progression of dental caries.
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.
