Peru: New gel for removing tooth decay presented in Arequipa
LivinginPeru.com
Isabel Guerra
A new product made from an Arequipean fruit locally known as "Papaya arequipeña," (Carica pubescens) that allows the removal of tooth decay without the use of mechanical methods, was officially presented by the Interdisciplinary Center for Research and Innovation (CICA) at Arequipa's Catholic University of Santa Maria (UCSM).
The developers of this gel, called Renova Caries, claim that it softens dental decay and allows an easy manual removal of it, without using dental drill nor anesthesia, which reduces the patients' anxiety.
The work was completed in early October, with the cooperation of the Quimivet SRL and co-financing from the Fund for Innovation, Science and Technology (FINCyT), which handles funds granted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The product costs 36 nuevos soles, and allows some 20 applications
