Aim: The study compares and evaluates enzymatic gel Brix 3000â and Polymer bur (SS White) for caries excavation in primary molars in terms of two parameters such as pain reaction and the time taken for caries excavation. Method: 60 children aged 7-9 years who require caries removal were recruited for the study and were randomly allocated into two groups: Group-A: Enzymatic gel (Brix 3000)â, Group-B: Smart burs (SS White polymer burs). The objectives evaluated were, observed pain reaction of the child (SEM scale) during the procedure and the total time taken for caries excavation. Results: The results suggest a significant difference between among the groups Brix 3000â showed superior results compared to group B (Smart burs) i.e., use of Brix 3000â for caries excavation took less time and showed minimal pain reaction. Conclusion: We can conclude that the newer enzymatic gel Brix 3000 is a viable alternative to other minimally invasive procedures. Clinical Significance: Method practiced to minimise the treatment time and discomfort, especially in pediatric age group it becomes important factor to obtain child cooperation.
