Abstract

LONDONO-LEMOS, Milton Enrique  and  BUSTAMANTE, Ocar. Development of a new Colombian product, effective for the treatment of carious lesions: a case study. Rev. colomb. cienc. quim. farm. [online]. 2019, vol.48, n.3, pp.677-699.  Epub Nov 04, 2020. ISSN 0034-7418.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcciquifa.v48n3.84986.

Purpose:

We present a new Colombian product researched and developed by Seven Scientific Foundation, which has been very useful for the removal of the carious tissue in patients who have used this innovative product.

Methods:

We used a chemical-mechanical removal of dental caries. This product is made with 10% papain which is the active principle and works as a debriding agent, as well as being a bacteriostatic, bactericidal and anti-inflammatory agent; and also contain dragon's blood (Croton lechleri) sap which is an effective as analgesic/anti-inflammatory and especially as a healing agent. In this article, we present a case study of a patient, whose dental carious tissue was removed, using the dental new product.

Description of the case report:

In this article, we present a case study of a patient, whose dental carious tissue has been removed, using the new dental product, therefore this innovative technique of removal of the atraumatic carious tissue.

Conclusions:

This method is useful as it is a minimally invasive technique, without requiring the use of local anesthesia, or the additional use of dental instruments. It is used in the Colombian population of all ages and does not generate side effects in people who have used it so far.
