title: Artificial plaque removal with Carisolv system: a clinical approach.
abstract: In the present study, removal of artifcial plaque in pits and fissures with the Carisolv system was compared with that of conventional bristle brush methoda in vitro. The results indicate that in the dental clinic, complete plaque removal with the Carisolv is possible, and in addition to acid etching, treated cavity was almost free of debris which might increase sealant retention.
