Caries removal with Carisolv system: criteria evaluation and microleakage test.

In the present study, cavities prepared by Carisolv were verified as being caries-free by two methods; by conventional visual and tactile criteria, and by DIAGNOdent. The results indicate that in the dental clinic, the efficiency of complete carious dentin removal with Carisolv is no longer difficult when a proper clinical guide is used. Furthermore, treatment of dentin surfaces with Carisolv is capable of decreasing marginal microleakage after composite resin restorations.
