Evaluation of Polymer Bur for Carious Dentin Removal in Primary Teeth

Abstract: Introduction:The development of a self-limiting caries removal technique would be of great clinical importance. Smart bur II is a relatively new bur in the dental market and its manufacturer is claiming that it is the ultimate bur for selective caries removal. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate caries removal time and efficacy of Smart bur II in comparison with conventional carbide bur. Material and methods: Twenty-three children, each with bilateral primary canine showing comparable class V car… Show more

“…Consequently, it was necessary to repeatedly change the bur until all caries was removed. The findings of the present investigation align with those of Wahba et al [10] and Shakya et al [11] who conducted a comparative analysis between the polymer bur (SmartPrep) and conventional burs (diamond points), coming to the conclusion that the former worked better than the latter. According to our findings, diamond bur is typically a quick and non-conservative way to remove dental cavities, which is consistent with Banerjee et al's [9] findings.…”

“…Visual-Tactile method and dye detection method were used to assess caries removal efficiency. In Visual-Tactile method (Wahba W)[ 8 ], a straight probe was passed over the excavated lesion to confirm the hard resistance. The caries removal was confirmed when there was no tug-back resistance obtained.…”
