Materials and methods: Double-blinded, two-armed, split-mouth and a randomized clinical trial was conducted in the clinic of the Conservative Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University, Egypt. Twenty-three patients aged between 18-40 years with active carious lesions in a permanent lower molar (each patient had at least two cavitied molars) were randomly allocated into two groups: a test group (N=23): Brix3000 and a Control group (N=23): Conventional rotary. From each group, two dentin samples were collected before and after caries removal. In both groups, the central cariogenic biomass and superficial parts of the necrotic dentin was removed with the excavator and then discarded. Then, a dentin sample was collected using a sharp, sterile excavator. And then the dentin samples were immediately transferred to the sterile disposable test tube containing 1.5 ml thioglycollate medium used as a carrier and kept in an icebox then taken to the microbiology laboratory for processing within two hours. The sterilized bottles containing the dentin samples were shaken in a vortex for the 30s to disperse bacterial aggregates and decimal dilutions were then prepared in sterile saline (0.9% NaCl). Next, 50 ol aliquots of each dilution were spread using micropipette onto the following solid media and spread on the surface of the agar using a sterile glass rod to give homogenous bacterial growth. Mitis salivarius agar (MSA) was used for Streptococcus spp Issued also as CD Chemo-mechanical caries removal Occlusal carious lesions Papain-based enzyme Essam Abdelhafez Naguib , Supervisor Mai Mahmoud Yousry , Supervisor Mai Mamdouh Mohamed , Supervisor http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf Asmaa Cataloger Nazla Revisor ddc TH 76787 76787 ddc 0 CUCL cl210 2024-02-11 Cai01.09.03.M.Sc.2019.La.M 01010110080871000 2023-09-22 00:00:00 TH ddc 0 CUCL cl2u8 2024-02-11 Cai01.09.03.M.Sc.2019.La.M 01020110080871000 2023-09-22 00:00:00 80871.CD CD
