The Science of Gentle Dentistry
RHOOS® Softcure utilizes a unique gel formulation containing natural enzyme fractions (Papain & Bromelain). These enzymes selectively break down the denatured collagen present in infected (carious) dentin, softening it within a few seconds.
The softened carious dentin can then be gently removed using a spoon excavator, without affecting the sound (healthy) dentin, thus preserving maximum tooth structure
Key Benefits
Selective Action
Acts only on infected dentin and does not impact sound dentin structure, ensuring maximum tooth preservation.
Added Protection
Enriched with Sodium Fluoride to support remineralization and help reduce the risk of secondary caries.
No Drill, No Fear
Significantly minimizes the need for rotary instruments and local anesthesia, reducing noise and anxiety—especially beneficial for phobic patients.
Clinical Indications (Where to Use)
RHOOS® Softcure is recommended for:
Anxious Patients & Uncooperative Children
Helps eliminate fear associated with drills and injections.
Deep Carious Lesions
Suitable for lesions encroaching the pulp, reducing the risk of accidental pulp exposure.
Indirect Pulp Capping Cases
Safe and controlled caries removal near the pulp.
Inaccessible Areas
Ideal after conventional cavity preparation to remove residual caries that rotary instruments may miss.
Wide Cavities
Where preservation of remaining tooth structure is critical.

40–60 seconds per application
🧭 How to Use
Step 1 – Isolate
Isolate the tooth using rubber dam or cotton rolls
Step 2 – Apply Gel
Apply RHOOS® Softcure to cover the carious dentin
Step 3 – Wait
Allow the gel to act for 40–60 seconds
Step 4 – Excavate
Gently remove softened caries using a spoon excavator
Step 5 – Repeat
Reapply if gel does not appear clear
Step 6 – Restore
Clean the cavity and proceed with restoration
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – RHOOS® SOFTCURE
What is RHOOS® SOFTCURE used for?
RHOOS® SOFTCURE is a chemomechanical dental caries removal paste used to selectively remove infected dentin while preserving healthy tooth structure. It allows minimally invasive caries removal without aggressive drilling.
Does RHOOS® SOFTCURE eliminate the need for drilling?
RHOOS® SOFTCURE significantly reduces the need for mechanical drilling, especially in deep or sensitive carious lesions. In some cases, minimal hand instrumentation may still be required to remove softened dentin.
Is RHOOS® SOFTCURE safe for pediatric and anxious patients?
Yes. RHOOS® SOFTCURE is especially useful in pediatric, geriatric, and anxious patients, as it allows gentle caries removal with minimal vibration, noise, and discomfort.
How does RHOOS® SOFTCURE work?
The paste works by chemically softening infected carious dentin, which can then be easily removed using hand instruments. Healthy dentin remains largely unaffected.
Can RHOOS® SOFTCURE be used in deep carious lesions?
Yes. RHOOS® SOFTCURE is suitable for deep caries, helping reduce the risk of pulp exposure by allowing controlled and selective dentin removal.
How should RHOOS® SOFTCURE be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place between 5°C and 25°C. Replace the cap tightly after each use to maintain paste consistency and effectiveness.
Is RHOOS® SOFTCURE for professional use only?
Yes. RHOOS® SOFTCURE is intended for professional dental use only and should be used by trained dental practitioners.
Does RHOOS® SOFTCURE require local anesthesia?
In most cases, No. Since the gel works chemically without heat or vibration, the procedure is largely painless. This makes it ideal for “Needle-Free Dentistry,” especially with children.
What are the active ingredients?
It contains Papain (from papaya) and Bromelain (from pineapple), which are natural proteolytic enzymes, along with Sodium Fluoride for remineralization.
RHOOS® SOFTCURE is widely used in chemomechanical caries removal procedures and supports minimally invasive dentistry, making it suitable for pediatric and anxious patients seeking drill-free caries removal.
