Abstract

Caries prevalence in Indonesia reached 88.8% and predominantly occurred in a remote areas. Dental caries is a chronic infection of hard tooth tissue that demineralized due to organic acids produced by bacteria. Caries in the dentin layer will cause collagen and other matrices form two zones, infected-dentin and affected-dentin. Infected dentin is essentially removed in the restoration procedure due to its bacterial infiltration mechanically using a bur with a handpiece. Chemo-mechanical Caries Removal (CMCR) itself or incorporated with rotary instruments is an alternative therapy to remove carious tissue and is consistent with the principle of minimal invasion dentistry. This literature aimed to find the potential use of CMCR as an innovative caries treatment in remote areas. The results of this literature are through a scientific literature review from 2011–2021. Based on the previous literature, we can conclude the effectiveness of CMCR in removing carious tissue to prevent the progression of caries severity. CMCR can be brought to bear in adult and pediatric carious tissue removal procedures. CMCR reduces pain and anxiety in children, so it certainly increases the prevalence of children taking caries treatment at the dentist. The utilization of CMCR is potential caries treatment in the region with low socioeconomic levels because of its relatively cheap. CMCR has the potential to succeed in the 2030 Caries Free Indonesia program because of the effectiveness of CMCR in caries tissue removal and the treatment of childhood caries. This literature concludes that CMCR has a lot of applicable potentials to solve caries cases in remote areas and potentially support the success of the 2030 Caries Free Indonesia government program.
