ACTIVE COMPARATOR

2% cavity disinfection

Other: Ethanolic extract of Aloe vera gel cavity disinfectantOther: Chlorohexadine

Interventions

Application of Aloe vera gel after partial caries removal then taking dentin bacterial sample to be sure for reduction of bacterial count (streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus) in deep cavity then add final restoration
