Background: Caries process is driven by the activity in the biofilm. Thus, the cavitated lesion after provisional sealing is more favorable to the remineralization of dentin as there is decrease of the bacterial count as a result of reduction of exogenous nutrient supply. Method: A total of 32 children were selected in our study. The study was a twostep procedure. Analysis of the baseline group and the analysis of the experimental group were done at 3 months interval. Pearson’s Chi-square and Fisher’s exact test was used in our study. The statistical significance of the data was determined at p<0.05. Results: showed 24 out of 27 cases 88.8% success when two step excavations was carried out with part of carious dentine left behind after 3 months. Conclusion: However this difference was not statistically significant it shows the favorable sealing capacity of RMGIC for healing in present technique.
