Abstrakt: Background: The study was aimed to compare the efficacy of caries removal, time taken, pain threshold experienced by the patient and anxiety experienced during various caries removal methods. Materials and Methods: 80 primary molars of 40 children between the age groups of 3-7 years were selected randomly and divided into two groups of 40 teeth each: Group I treated by the mechanical method and Group II with Carie care method. The efficacy, time taken, and the pain threshold were evaluated during the caries removal by Ericson D et al. scale, visual analog scale, and modified child dental anxiety scale, respectively. Results: Highly significant co-relation was observed when the intergroup comparison was made using one-way analysis of variance. Conclusion: It was concluded that Carie care gel was efficient in caries removal and can be used as an alternative for the airotor in the management of dental caries especially in children.
