AI Technical Summary
Current mechanical and chemical methods for removing infected dentin in dental caries are imprecise, invasive, painful, and risk damaging healthy tooth structure, with chemical removers lacking differentiation between infected and healthy tissue, leading to potential pulp exposure and increased treatment time and discomfort.
A dual-gel chemical caries remover system comprising an activating gel with sodium hypochlorite and a regulating gel with a fluorescent dye, designed to selectively dissolve infected dentin while preserving healthy dentin, using a synergistic formulation that includes sodium lauryl sulfate, dimethylamine oxide, and L-glutamine to ensure precise and safe removal.
The dual-gel system provides precise identification and removal of infected dentin, minimizing discomfort and damage to healthy tissue, enhancing treatment precision and safety, and facilitating faster, more comfortable dental procedures with improved visualization under LED light.
