Atraumatic Cavity Removal

Carisolv is a chemo-mechanical method ideal for use on most types of carious lesion. The method is minimally invasive and affects only the carious part of the tooth. As a result, the teeth last longer, the risk of complications is reduced and patient comfort is enhanced. The use of Carisolv makes the procedure minimally-invasive.

What is Carisolv?

The gel consists partly of a highly viscous fluid, containing among other ingredients three different amino acids, and partly of a transparent fluid, a weak concentration of sodium hypochlorite. The mixture of amino acids and sodium hypochlorite ensures that the gel reacts only with the carious dentine, thus preserving tissue.
