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) , 3958 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 3000 showed superior results compared to group B (Smart burs) i.e., use of Brix 3000 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. With use of that can make clinician to invest less time & cause less pain to the child will save time for both the child and the clinician along with providing efficient care.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unparallel change that has impacted the psychology of the population greatly. This can be considered as a major factor influencing self-harm & about a one fourth of all adolescents and children may be seen displaying this sort of this behavior. The exact prevalence of SIB is unknown & widely underestimated. These behaviors are usually hidden and considered to be socially unacceptable. In this current pandemic situation, there has been a upward trend of such behaviors and hence an active collaborative effort should be taken to raise awareness about self-injurious behavior amongst schools, colleges, community and social welfare groups by and large. This article is a small attempt from author’s side to raise awareness which will aid in early diagnosis and timely intervention, thereby improve quality of life of such individuals. A thorough literature s...

Materials and Method: Extracted maxillary or mandibular primary molars with proximal carious lesion, were selected with active carious cavities extending in to 2/3rd of dentin. The selected teeth were preserved in phosphate buffer saline solution no longer than 30 days. The selected teeth were separated into two experimental groups: group A- chemomechanical method – Brix3000 and Group B- slow speed polymer bur. After caries excavation the microhardness test was carried out on treated dentin using a Knoop indenter. Results: The results suggest a significant difference between among the groups Brix 3000â showed superior results compared to group B (Polymer burs) i.e., The results showed that the microhardness of the remaining dentine after caries excavation with Brix 3000 was found to be greater than the microhardn...
