The conventional drilling method of caries removal makes vibration and thermal stimuli, so that children are afraid of dental treatment. Recently, various non-invasive caries removal techniques of alternatives to traditional methods are introduced and chemo-mechanical caries removal is one of them. Carisolv^TM comprises a gel that is composed of three different amino acids and a low concentration of sodium hypochlorite and specially-designed hand instruments. This report describes two cases of dental caries treatment with Carisolv^TM. The carious dentin was eliminated with Carisolv^TM gel with instruments and then composite resin restoration was conducted.

Key Words: Carisolv^TM, Chemo-mechanical removal of caries
