THE SELECTIVE CARIOUS TISSUE REMOVAL KIT

The expression “Selective Caries Removal“ (SCR) designates a particular procedure for excavating carious dentin in cavitated teeth, especially at the occlusal level (International caries detection and evaluation system “ICDAS“ codes 5 and 6). CLINICAL INDICATIONS OF SCR 1) Very deep carious cavities of permanent teeth, especially if close to the dental pulp. 2) Carious cavities of permanent teeth with open apexes in children/adolescents. 3) Very deep carious cavities in the baby teeth of infants/chil

THE SCR KIT The Deppeler SCR kit helps the dentist perform atraumatic and minimally invasive treatments of deep carious cavities, feasible even without anesthesia or drills according to the ART technique (Atraumatic Restorative Treatment). • Gain of time & easier work with a logical color coding. • Efficacy & ergonomy improvement with the uniquely shaped mushroom-like excavator which allows easy removal all around the cavity. • Patient comfort thanks to the ergonomic shapes of excavators that avoid pulp exposure and allow the execution of the procedure without rotating instrumen

DETAILED PROCEDURE The procedure consists in removing the carious tissue until reaching the leathery dentine on the floor of the cavity, and the firm one on the axial walls, using hand instruments to make the intervention less invasive. REMOVAL OF INFECTED DENTINE UP TO THE CAVITY FLOOR WITHOUT EXPOSING THE PULP SMALL ROUNDED EXCAVATOR ref. EX31L+ADEP The size, the rounded shape and the ideal inclination make this excvator particularly suitable for small and large cavities, especially for the molars.

ALONG THE AXIAL WALLS: MUSHROOM-SHAPED EXCAVATOR ref. ART1+ADEP The circular shape perpendicular to the instrument’s shaft helps excavate the infected dentin on the axial walls with a continuous movement on the inner circumference of the cavity without changing the inclination of the instrument. ON DEJ AND CEJ: SMALL WATERDROP SHAPED EXCAVATOR ref. EX09+ADEP The small waterdrop shape favors the complete removal of the affected dentin in the areas of difficult access, in particular at the dentine-enamel junction (DEJ) and cervical step (CEJ).

EVALUATION OF THE CAVITY AREA The explorer with a wide curve and very pointy tip enables a reliable assessment of the consistency of the dentin. RESTORATION WITH APPLICATION AND SHAPING OF COMPOSITE Double-use instrument with a long and thin spatula for applying and layering the restoration material, and a cone tip for a very fluid and precise occlusal modeling of even the smallest anatomical details.
