Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Brix 3000  it has effective and selective proteolytic action to remove collagen fibres in the carious tissue while preserving the affected demineralized dentin. duration of therapy is about 30 minutes for each group 
Intervention  ultrasonic excavator tip(EX1)  The ultrasonic excavator is more comfortable for dentist and children than manual excavator because the ultrasonic wave can easily penetrate to caries and defective dentine, furthermore, it will cause less trauma, heat generation and laceration, and it can remove a deep carious teeth more biologically and conservatively. The duration of the therapy for both the group is about 30 minutes.

Brief Summary   This study is to evaluate the efficacy of caries removal, amount of time taken and the pain experienced by the children aged 4 to 7 years using brix 3000 and ultrasonic excavator in primary molars. It is a randomized controlled trial with split mouth design. The sample size is estimated to be 62 with 1:1 allocation ratio, simple random sampling. The methodology includes caries removal checked using an explorer. The time taken for complete caries removal was recorded and compared using a stopwatch. The pain threshold of caries removal measured by wong bakers Scale and flacc, assessing the retention, marginal discoloration, secondary caries, marginal adaptation of restoration at 3, 6 months using USPHS criteria. The obtained data will be subjected to statistical analysis.
