Oral Science Launches Papacárie Duo® in Canada: A Minimally Invasive Papain, Anesthesia-Free Solution for Caries Removal
Oral Science is proud to introduce Papacárie Duo®, an innovative papain, enzyme-based gel designed for atraumatic caries removal without anesthesia. Approved by Health Canada (NPN 80129669), Papacárie Duo® offers a gentle, effective, and patient-friendly alternative to traditional drilling techniques.
Minimally Invasive, Safe, and Effective
Papacárie Duo® is a biocompatible and non-toxic gel, clinically tested and proven safe for patients of all ages, including young children. Its chemomechanical process selectively targets decayed tissue, leaving healthy dentin untouched.
A single drop of Papacárie Duo® softens carious dentin within 30 seconds, allowing for easy removal using a simple curette or spoon excavator—without the need for anesthesia or a drill in most cases.
Mechanism of Action
- The papain enzyme in the gel breaks down decayed proteins, softening infected dentin.
- The softened carious tissue can then be gently removed using hand instruments, preserving healthy tooth structure.
- The process is painless, efficient, and stress-free, making it ideal for pediatric, geriatric, and special-care patients.
A Game-Changer in Minimally Invasive Caries Management
"The addition of Papacárie Duo® is a breakthrough for dental offices seeking to optimize clinical outcomes while enhancing the patient experience. We believe this completes our minimally invasive caries management protocol, offering a solution that will leave a lasting positive impression on both adults and children,” said Daniel Ménard, CEO and Co-Founder of Oral Science.
Availability
Papacárie Duo® will be available for shipping in April 2025 and is now open for pre-orders.
