In the present study, removal
of artificial plaque in pits and fissures with the Carisolv system
was compared with that of conventional bristle brush method, in
vitro. The results indicate that in the dental clinic, complete
plaque removal with the Carisolv is possible, and in addition
to acid etching, treated cavity was almost free of debris which
might increase sealant retention.
Key words: Carisolv, tooth, dental plaque, tooth prophylaxis |
