ABSTRACT
The invention and application of engine driven or rotary instruments in operative treatment of carious lesions has resulted in removal of considerable tooth structure. As possible alternatives to conventional techniques of caries removal, chemomechanical caries removal systems have emerged. Minimally invasive dentistry adopts a philosophy that integrates prevention, remineralization, and minimal intervention for the placement and replacement of restorations, thus reaching the treatment objective using the least invasive surgical approach, with the removal of the minimal amount of healthy tissues. Chemomechanical caries removal (CMCR) is a method for minimally invasive, gentle dentin caries removal based on biological principles which is an effective alternative to the traditional method.
