Overview
Brief Summary
This study is to evaluate the efficacy of caries removal, amount of time taken and the pain experienced by the children aged 4 to 7 years using brix 3000 and ultrasonic excavator in primary molars. It is a randomized controlled trial with split mouth design. The sample size is estimated to be 62 with 1:1 allocation ratio, simple random sampling. The methodology includes caries removal checked using an explorer. The time taken for complete caries removal was recorded and compared using a stopwatch. The pain threshold of caries removal measured by wong bakers Scale and flacc, assessing the retention, marginal discoloration, secondary caries, marginal adaptation of restoration at 3, 6 months using USPHS criteria. The obtained data will be subjected to statistical analysis.
