Chemomechanical Caries Removal with Enzymatic Technology: A Comparative
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to compare the efficiency of caries removal between the chemomechanical caries removal agent Brix 3000 and the conventional method using a laser fluorescent device (DIAGNOdent Pen), caries detection dye, microbial culture, and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. Materials and methods: The study involved 64 primary molars with dentinal caries between March and June 2022. Standardization was achieved based on International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II) criteria (score 6) and DIAGNOdent Pen measurements (30 and above). Caries were removed using the conventional method (32) and Brix 3000 (32). Following this, dentin samples were collected, and measurements were made with the DIAGNOdent Pen to evaluate the presence of residual caries in both groups. After the measurements, the presence of residual caries was evaluated in both groups using caries detection dye. The decrease in values obtained by microbial culture and real-time PCR methods of dentin samples taken before and after caries removal was evaluated. Results: When DIAGNOdent Pen and caries detection dye were evaluated, the caries removal efficiency of the conventional method was found to be higher ( Conclusion: It is thought that Brix 3000 is an effective agent for caries removal and may be an alternative agent to the conventional method, especially considering its advantages in children.
