The conclusion of the article is:
"The Papacárie Duo method is a safe, minimally invasive, and effective technique for caries removal, particularly suitable for pediatric patients. Its selectivity in targeting only infected tissue, antimicrobial properties, and pain-free application make it an excellent alternative to conventional mechanical methods. It preserves healthy tooth structure and reduces patient discomfort, which is critical in modern conservative dentistry. Papacárie Duo also offers a promising solution for public healthcare, particularly in communities with limited access to dental services and high rates of tooth decay. Its application can improve pediatric dental care while helping to alleviate the financial strain on public health systems."
