Abstract

$Carisolv^{TM}$ system was developed for removal of carious dentin with chemo-mechanical method by Swedish researcher. $Carisolv^{TM}$ is composed of 0.5% NaClO and three kinds of amino acid, i.e. glutamic acid, leucine and lysin. After these agents are mixed together, the gel mixed is applied to carious dentin and the carious dentin is removed with hand instrument without using burs. The mechanism of softening the dentin is postulated that the degenerated collagen by caries is chlorinated and the decomposed. But the details of the mechanism are not clarified yet.(omitted)
