This study compared and evaluated the effectiveness of Brix 3000 and 2.25 % sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) gel with conventional rotary instrumentation method in caries excavation of primary molars. The null hypothesis: no difference between the two tested chemo-mechanical caries removal (CMCR) agents...
